I really don't understand how people think women are more emotional due to hormones....
Testorone is basically crack, and I think a lot of societal issues are due to aging powerful men going on it so they can feel 18 again when they're 50.
The problem is 18 year old guys are fucking crazy because their testorone is so high.
I worked for an iron mine and there was a 25 y/o telling me to take roids or T for "the gains", while others were saying that T helped them keep up the pace to chase younger women. They seemed unhinged.
Unless your doctor tells you that you need it (there are some cases that it makes sense, also this comment is not touching on trans issues), you shouldn't fuck with hormones.
I've been calling people going on T "gender affirming care". Your body naturally slows down as it ages; going against nature is an affront to God and serves only to push the narrative that you aren't getting older, despite the inevitable still occurring. If you want to take hormones to change your body, you can go to a socialist country like France or Canada.
The knots in the brain are visible from miles away, it's great.
Wish I had been that sort of clever 6 months ago.
Also this was in Canada but they were the "I wanna" "Fuck Trudeau" types, so a little rework and it would have been perfect.
I don't get how anyone could look at the state of the US and go "yes, this is what I want my country to strive to become".
Yeah, neither do I. And I can't seem to get an honest answer out of them. Also they have a obvious daddy complex. They keep prattling on about a "strong leader who is a man"
The guy who shits on himself, who's wife openly hates him, and who Putin treats like a personal puppet? It's so frustratingly ridiculous what people assume of this dude. Guy thinks they had planes in the Civil War, and people will say he's the smartest person in The Hill. GUY BANKRUPTED A CASINO. PROFITS ARE BUILT INTO THE MODEL.
Affront to god? Canada/France socialist? Your kind is rare here lol
None of it is serious, all in jest. I gotta really pour it on with people IRL cause I live in a conservative/religious area.
I don't want to feel 18 again
Why the fuck would anyone want to feel 18 again
I can't speak for you, but I would like to be able to bend down without worrying about standing back up again afterward.
I guess it's stairs for me.
One of these days those stairs are going to make me remember I'm in my 30s I just know it.
Be kind to your knees; you'll miss them when they're gone.
Psychologically? Not a chance. Physiologically, though... Eh, he might look a little better, but current me could def still kick that whiny sentient toothpick's ass.
18 year old me did have more hair on his head and had a far better beard.
Because to the people who say that, "emotional" only refers to being sad
E definitely leads to crying more ime and in the experience of a lot of transfem people. Some of that might just being a result of it helping with things like depression and dissociation though.
But yeah, T is it's own experience too, probably moreso if you aren't aroace and have to deal with the horny actually being directed at people.
As an aroace dude who is now a few decades older. That level of hormones going still makes dumb ideas look good.
For sure. Glad to not have to deal with that anymore (assuming I can maintain access to medicines to keep it that way).
