TL;DR
- The author expresses a general dislike for medical check-ups and tests.
- There is a perceived push, particularly by figures like Pete Hegseth, to encourage testosterone testing and TRT for men.
- The author questions the claimed benefits of TRT, such as increased athleticism and virility, and notes potential downsides like worsened hair loss.
- He suggests that his existing aggression is adequately managed through video games, not by increasing testosterone.
- The article critiques the idea of artificially enhancing the human body, arguing that aging and eventual irrelevance are natural.
- The author notes the contradiction of promoting TRT for cis men while fighting against hormone therapy for trans troops.
