    It is both accurate and hilarious – take too much testosterone, it converts to estrogen and leads to man boobs. We're talking "Bob had bitch tits" from the Fight Club movie, only in uniform. Pete Hegseth is SO off-putting. I didn't know it was possible to perform gender so masc it becomes cringe. Still ridiculous, too, though, like – is this SNL, or are we live in DC? What a sad, lonely, overcompensating little man. 
    You made me cry, dammit. As much as I wish it wasn't Alyssa's "last" episode, sometimes you've gotta break up. I wish her the best adventures and fulfillment! Erin and Alyssa, you complement each other so well and I will miss this specific Hysterical blend because of how absolutely genuine your friendship and esteem for one another is. Looking forward to seeing the show grow, I'm not going anywhere. Love y'all and oh – I can't get enough of Erin's celadon paisley dress!

    Enlarged prostate could lead to Prostate cancer. My Significant-Other had that, and he passed with it. 😭
    I hope they mention that along with all the other side effects of Testosterone therapy?

    My first concert was KISS in 1995. Ted Nugent and Skid Row opened. I still think Ted is an ass, but my mind was a little blown when I learned you can shout "Fuck you because I'm an American!" that many times in three minutes. I was five years old.
    If you want to question my parents' judgement, it's okay. I do every day.

    Unlike trans men, cis men should NOT be on TRT when young unless they have a diagnosable endocrine condition. When you take that as a cis guy, your nards just straight-up quit on you and it lowers your natural T.

    Tate didn't build a social media career from nothing. He was a porn "actor" who lured underage women to do web cam shows and forced them into sex slavery. That's where he got the start up capital to play at being wealthy.
