Saw an interesting take on the whole Testosterone story.
Hegseth is issuing Gender affirming care for and a form of HRT DEI to help his soldiers :be all the can be” which seems counter intuitive to the vibe of this admin.

The corrupted DoJ can tilt at windmills as much as it wants. The reality is we’ve goose-stepped off the cliff and only massive, unsustainable releases from energy stockpiles have kept Americans from feeling the full pain of Trump’s disastrous choices. Thank goodness we’ve got explosive diarrhea, record temperatures, and smoke-filled air to comfort us.
