Testosterone is life saving medicine. Men aren't shitty because of testosterone, they're shitty because we live in a society that teaches and uplifts them for being misogynistic assholes. Demonizing T alienates transmascs & women with high T & I don't wanna see it on my skyline. Testosterone is fab. - ThreadSky

testosterone didn’t poison my personality just my voice box

angelawtf.bsky.social•346 days ago

I view it like it's the Venom symbiote. Yeah, it makes me stronger, more aggressive, crave human flesh, and leave goo everywhere, but it's not for me and someone could put it to better use.

domg.bsky.social•346 days ago

You're missing the obvious best part. It allows us to grow a literal dick from practically nothing. Essentially magic

bblloooodd.club•346 days ago

🔥🔥🔥

melancholytheclown.bsky.social•346 days ago

You're right and you should say it

domg.bsky.social•346 days ago

Thank you 🫶

Don't forget our intersex lovelies (including hormonally intersex which is an umbrella that covers folks who have PCOS)

melancholytheclown.bsky.social•404 days ago

I didn't have enough characters to include everyone individually, but as someone with PCOS this was definitely on my mind (why I put "women with high T" because a lot of people who are intersex consider themselves cis). But definitely yes. Naturally high testosterone is fine & good for everyone ✨

pastelwitch.bsky.social•404 days ago

Just wanted to mention cuz some folks have been dropping the I in the LGBTQIA+ acronym, and I know from intersex folks I follow (plus an ex partner) that speaking up to include them for queer stuff is crucial cuz of amatonormativity as a whole

melancholytheclown.bsky.social•404 days ago

I absolutely get that. The only reason I don't speak up about intersex stuff more is cuz not everyone views PCOS as intersex & I don't wanna speak over other members of the community. But I'll definitely make a point to mention the I specifically when I can.

davidseaver.bsky.social•346 days ago

People with no background in biology and a penchant for biological essentialism spent a good part of the 70s - 90s promoting the idea of T as the hormonal correlate of all evil.

Same nonsense that gave rise to TERFs.

So yes, as a cis male, I can still personally hate on TERFs.

melancholytheclown.bsky.social•346 days ago

It is my personal belief that we should all hate on TERFs, because it is morally correct. You're doing the right thing.

sixarmedsweater.bsky.social•403 days ago

Damn right.

asterionhex.monster•403 days ago

I had 7 YEARS between coming out and getting on T because I had people feeding me horror stories. Been on it for 3 years now and love it, I love feeling like I’ve been supposed to be all this time

probablyacryptid.elikwake.com•404 days ago

Hells yeah. I wanna go on T. I think it's be amazing for my mental health and would likely help several physical problems as well

melancholytheclown.bsky.social•404 days ago

I loved being on T & the only reason I'm not right now is because I'm not into all the extra body hair. I hope you get the chance to try it for yourself & see how it works for you ♥️

slamcampbell.bsky.social•346 days ago

I love my testosterone, it makes me feel good about myself and helps me operate. And I'm cis. I spent a few years without it and boy howdy was it a bad time.
T has saved my life.

melancholytheclown.bsky.social•346 days ago

Many cis people take hormones to feel more comfortable in their bodies and I think that's great! Super happy for you ✨

c-fish.bsky.social•403 days ago

They're specifically shitty because this society has been allowed to stand. If we start literally burning manoshphere figures it'll get rid of the idea that thier God like and teach consequences

chairo.bsky.social•403 days ago

As a man, born male. I feel odd about reading this. Some text seems hateful. I have very low T and need injections. Without it I am depressed, anxious, and useless. Many of my friends are trans, including trans masc, which I adore, we’d even do out T together. Some of the best ppl I know!

melancholytheclown.bsky.social•403 days ago

I am supporting testosterone as a whole. Natural & synthetic. Some people believe that testosterone is the reason why men are aggressive, misogynistic, etc & that is not true. Testosterone is a useful hormone that our bodies need. Misogynistic men exist because that's what society teaches, not cuz T

chairo.bsky.social•403 days ago

Thank you. I suppose I am fortunate not to have been party to those teachings. Yes, T is very important. It was a life saver. For me and my trans friends! (Trans supporter for nearly 30 years)

shawninstlouis.bsky.social•346 days ago

Dude (AMAB) on TRT for 6 years now. Low T due to apnea, which isn't due to weight, but a botched respiratory surgery.

It was life changing for me, and absolutely did not turn me into a chud or a bully or anything of the sort.

vyps.bsky.social•403 days ago

Waves in non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia. My T runs fairly high actually and "asshole" is not amongst the effects.

melancholytheclown.bsky.social•403 days ago

PCOS with high T over here & same

lazulisong.bsky.social•346 days ago

I'm glad I didn't have to go on T to qualify for top surgery (and my heart makes hormones dicey anyway) but wow am I glad I had the option if I had needed it (I have PCOS and was like "if I gotta I guess but I have a bunch already? ._.")

horror-lit-love.bsky.social•404 days ago

I do not understand demonizing these things. An imbalance of any hormone can be an issue, or maybe not. That's for the individual to decide; no single hormonal cocktail is going to work for every human under the sun. Testosterone is a piece of a very complex puzzle, not the whole picture

sekhithefops.bsky.social•346 days ago

I used to feel like it was a horrible poison for me... in the early 2000s when I was in high school and so deep in the closet I was damn near in Narnia.

These days, not so much. >w>

nml-dc.bsky.social•403 days ago

Yes! I have a friend on T who is a cis man and it's an off-label treatment for his connective tissue disorder (a disorder I also have, otherwise I doubt he would have shared that). Hormones make our bodies /function/ and different people need different combos for different reasons.

wheredidjasongo.bsky.social•404 days ago

We literally had a book that was an allegory for the idea that testosterone irrevocably poisons people

melancholytheclown.bsky.social•404 days ago

Some people are still not getting it 😭

scumbelievable.bsky.social•346 days ago

I wasn't subtle!

melancholytheclown.bsky.social•346 days ago

Some people just aren't open to the message 😭
I haven't read it, but I did watch Jessie Gender's video about it and the controversy surrounding it ~

filbi.bsky.social•346 days ago

funny tagline but ffs

kyuofcosmic.bsky.social•404 days ago

Hormones (synthetic and otherwise) aren’t morally aligned, they’re just little guys telling other little guys what to do to make your body do things

cat-appreciator.bsky.social•346 days ago

It’s personally not good for me, but so is lactose.

melancholytheclown.bsky.social•346 days ago

We've all got our preferences and that's cool too

ardismeade.bsky.social•403 days ago

As an intersex male, being on testosterone has made me less aggressive and, frankly, safer to be around.

clouddysfunction.bsky.social•403 days ago

I'm a trans woman who needs T because my adrenal gland is slacking. It's swag in the right ratio for me.
