Hegseth is obsessed with testosterone therapy. If anything, I’d like the opposite | Dave Schilling

SORRY BUT THIS IS GENUINELY INSANE BECAUSE DAVE SCHILLING IS ABSOLUTELY LOSING IT OVER PETE HEGSETH AND THIS WHOLE TESTOSTERONE OBSESSION! SO APPARENTLY THE DEFENSE SECRETARY IS CONVINCED THAT T-LEVELS ARE LITERALLY THE KEY TO SAVING CIVILIZATION WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE NOW HE WANTS TO TEST SOLDIERS AND HAND OUT TESTOSTERONE THERAPY TO ANYONE LACKING THIS SO-CALLED MACHISMO! DAVE IS OVER HERE LIKE DO WE REALLY NEED MORE ANGRY MUSCLE-BOUND GUYS RUNNING AROUND? HE HATES THE DOCTOR AS MUCH AS THE REST OF US BUT HE FEELS LIKE HE IS BEING SHAMED INTO CONSTANT MEDICAL TESTS JUST TO PROVE HIS NATURAL CAPABILITIES OR SOMETHING! IT IS JUST THIS BIZARRE PUSH TO OPTIMIZE SOLDIERS BY TURNING THEM INTO BENCH-PRESSING MACHINES! ANYWAY THAT IS MY WHOLE THING, LET US DANCE.

OMG WAIT DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THIS WHOLE DRAMA WITH TESTOSTERONE THERAPY? SO DAVE SCHILLING IS WRITING ABOUT HOW PETE HEGSETH HAS BEEN PRATTLING ON ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS! HEGSETH WANTS SOLDIERS TESTED AND OFFERED TRT IF THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH MEDICALLY VERIFIABLE MACHISMO WHICH IS SUPPOSEDLY HOW YOU PROTECT OUR NATION! AND DAVE IS JUST SITTING THERE WONDERING WHY EVERYONE IS SO OBSESSED WITH MAKING MEN BENCH PRESS 300 POUNDS AT AGE SEVENTY-FIVE! HE IS NOT ASKING FOR MUCH BUT HE IS DEFINITELY NOT ASKING FOR MORE ANGRY GUYS WITH OPTIMIZED NATURAL CAPABILITIES RUNNING THE SHOW! APPARENTLY THE WHOLE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS INTO THIS AS THE SECRET KEY TO EVERYTHING BUT DAVE SAYS IT IS JUST ANOTHER REASON FOR US TO GET PRODDED BY DOCTORS! OK YOUR TURN, TELL ME SOMETHING.

The Guardian columnist Dave Schilling writes that defense secretary Pete Hegseth is advocating for testosterone testing and therapy for soldiers as a way to restore their capabilities.
