What is MAGAs obsession with testosterone levels?

No, it's a real issue, just like our birth rate. Low T started in the late 80's.
None of my degrees are in Physiology, but color me shocked that being a fatass, spending an exorbitant amount of your free time sitting on your arse playing video games, and staying up to odd hours and not getting enough sleep would suppress free & total testosterone levels in young to middle aged adult males.

The irony: at least according to AI the number one culprit is the increasing fatness of society. Apparently fat cells produce an enzyme that converts testosterone to a form of estrogen.

Y’all ever seen a Trump speech? Fat MAGAs as far as the eye can see.
Y'all ever seen @TarponSpringsNole?

He's a dude who says he's a woman.

His "dysphoria" is soooooo bad that he hasn't even cut his cawk off!

My worry is all the low T lib males still get to vote. They basically are additions to the cat lady demographic.

The interesting thing about all of this is, if you are someone who has “high tea”, you probably have “low T”. But I digress.

There's 100% chance @aCEOuProbablyKnow has violent sex dreams involving you and tarponsprings nole. that mfer will hijack everythread with his obession.
I feel bad for him. He has severe mental issues, and should seek help. Oh. And he should delete his Grindr account. It’s not helping, and only adding to the deterioration of his mental health.

I had three kids and had to get my tubes tied to stop all the babymaking. **** was getting out of control.
So high T and birthrate for this beta

From one poster's posting his testosterone level to others throwing low T around like an insult?

This low T, beta, liberal finds it strange and funny.
The irony about JHP posting his testosterone level and then calling everyone else low T, is that we don't even check testosterone levels unless someone is having symptoms of...wait for it...low testosterone.

It is like the company I use to service my furnace and A/C also does plumbing. They want to do an inspection of the plumbing in my house every year. Every year I tell them no and when they ask why I say because my plumbing works fine and has no leaks.

Why would I need a plumber to come out and check the pipes if they are working fine?

My doc threw it in on this spring’s blood work (63 yo soon) after I told him I was curious two years ago. He laughed and said, I know from everything I see & your other panels that you’re good to go. I was surprised when I checked my online account and there it was. I didn’t have any signs; was just curious.

I feel testosterone should have a sliding scale of normal that is age based. The older you are, the less you have is actually really normal.

This. It's our biological safety line. 60 year old men should not be doing what a 30 year old is doing.

There are a lot of limitations and caveats to testing testosterone levels. Timing of test, what assay they use, physiologic stressors, age, other health conditions. Day to day levels fluctuate and you need several samples to accurately diagnose. Free and total need tested for full picture. The "normal" range is also very large. Someone going from 800 to 400 may be a significant drop and cause symptoms, even though the 400 is still in the "normal" range.

My medical advice is see your doctor if you're having concerns. Do not go to any of these men's clinics or chiropractor offices who are simply trying to take your money and sell you useless supplements whose main effect is making your urine very expensive.

I hear what you’re saying and don’t disagree.

If you’ve maintained yourself and can still sprint, jump, lift heavy weights and be an explosive athlete, there’s certainly nothing wrong with that.
