I'm confused, I thought gender affirming treatment was illegal?
Isn't this affirming a gender?

Shitget insists there are only two genders, and he's pretty fucking hellbent to please his tent-revival clientele.
For women, the guidance does not mandate routine testosterone blood tests, but it calls for screening for fatigue and disrupted menstrual cycles that can be associated with hormonal dysregulation and conditions called low-energy availability and relative energy deficiency in sport. The document lays out guidelines for when it is appropriate to prescribe off-label testosterone in women, namely for postmenopausal women with unusually low sexual desire.
What in the everliving fuck is wrong with these people?
They are basically trying to gender-purify the military. They’re trying to dump all the women.
People still don’t understand that a horrifying percentage of these absolute fuckwits watched Handmaid’s Tale and thought it was an aspirational utopian story.
hesgeth already dumped a high ranking women.
A very wild, unscientific guess: they want women recruits to be ok with ahhh... Coerced... sexual activity from men recruits.
Don't worry about the sailors who have been starving on an unserviced dilapidated aircraft carrier. Or the fact they tried suicide to get off it. Definitely only worry about your red pill man juice status.
Testosterone makes you a better killer or your sexual assaults better?
A better drunk?
yes, yes, no
What a collosal waste of tax payer money.
Wait until the class action lawsuits ten years from now from bald veterans with raisin balls and huge breasts.
Accidentally invest in HRT researches by creating diverse and large datasets
The neurenberg trials have allready established that "orders are orders" is not a credible defence.
... for blatant crimes against humanity, yes. Testosterone screening may be many dumb things but it's not that.
I non-medical chemical intervention against one's will is an assault.
The article does not in any way suggest that will happen, so I guess that's fine.
That one time the US forces troops onto hrt yet we are terrorists for it.
mandatory testosterone deficiency screening
aww goddammit what did ~~RFK jr.~~ the brainworm posse come up with now?
This is a thing but it's so rare....
I guess they're going to pump soldiers up with testosterone regardless. Or it's just another zero effort publicity stunt.
Yep, roided out morons is what they want
aww goddammit what did RFK jr. come up with now?
This is apparently a Hegseth thing.
Or this is their collective stupid idea, about the same as handing out Pervitin.
its actually by hesgeth, hes obsessed with the t level of men.
Low testosterone is by no means a rare thing.
petey probably has low T himself, and he needs to "inspect" all these men.
