And yea, shit on my profession all you want, but I do know how to read and critically evaluate studies.
Unsunghero makes a good point about unethical doctors doing what his TRT doc does and just doing whatever the patient wants. Still, they are risking their license every time they do that, and it's better than politicians deciding not out of child welfare but concern trolling for votes and kulturkampf

Not just from dad’s experience, but from the entire fitness community, most TRT doctors take a very liberal standpoint on patient choice
The fact of the matter is these doctors know that if they don’t do it, the person is going to get what they want from an underground lab and not have their health markers monitored. So may as well be liberal with prescription and give them the benefit of council and oversight
Getting a script for TRT from any endo does NOT require a particular blood marker. All it requires is to rattle off a certain number of symptoms, such as low sex drive, mental fog, difficulty building muscle, fatigue, etc. That’s it. Symptoms that anyone can look up ahead of time and memorize
And you know what? I’m 100% in support of that. No TRT endo is going to lose their license just for being liberal with prescriptions. It will take something disastrous happening and a lawsuit as a result, and this will be on their own individual judgement and monitoring the situation. They can always choose to cut the patient off if their PSA scores too high, something like that
But these are ADULTS, making sometimes medically reckless adult decisions with doctor oversight
Not. Fuckin. Impressionable. Wanting to appease the adults. Children
That’s my concern. Not based in cruelty
