Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wants the military to check its testosterone levels.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Read more Can\u2019t Help But Wonder<\/a><\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Hegseth <\/span>announced<\/span> a new policy requiring annual testosterone-deficiency screenings for service members 30 and older as part of their regular health assessments. Troops under 30 may opt in voluntarily, and testosterone replacement therapy, if recommended, will also be voluntary. The apparent goal is <\/span>not <\/span><\/i>to turn every officer into a linebacker, but to keep troops \u201cstrong, resilient, and capable\u201d for the demands of the battlefield.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Naturally, D<\/span>emocratic critics treated the announcement as if Hegseth\u2019s policy came straight from the mouth of Andrew Tate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D\u2013PA), an Air Force veteran, <\/span>said<\/span> the policy \u201cproves that Secretary Hegseth takes direction from the far corners of the manosphere.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Others, such as Sen. Adam Schiff (D\u2013CA) and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D\u2013WA), thought they had a \u201cgotcha\u201d moment by likening the Pentagon\u2019s testosterone screening plan to cross-sex \u201cgender-affirming care.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPete Hegseth comes out in favor of gender-affirming care,\u201d <\/span>wrote<\/span> Schiff, while Jayapal <\/span>said<\/span>, \u201cThe Secretary of Forever Wars, Pete Hegseth, just announced they are going to provide hormone therapy to male service members who don\u2019t have enough testosterone \u2026 Let\u2019s be clear: This is gender-affirming care, and it completely debunks all of Republicans\u2019 attacks on trans people.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Because it evidently is not obvious to some, addressing a deficiency of a hormone that a man\u2019s body naturally produces <\/span>is not the equivalent<\/span><\/i> of <\/span>artificially<\/span> suppressing one sex hormone and elevating another so far past your baseline that you grow breasts.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When a man is low in testosterone, as becomes more prevalent past the age of 30, there are noticeable and <\/span>significant effects<\/span> across the board. It is not just some cosmetic metric or signal of masculinity; it is \u201ctied to muscle mass, bone density, metabolism, energy, concentration, mood, and physical performance.\u201d The subsequent <\/span>drop-offs<\/span> in performance and ability have real overlap with the demands of military life.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hegseth even <\/span>clarified<\/span> that \u201cthis is not about artificial enhancement; it\u2019s about restoring and optimizing your natural capabilities, protecting your longevity, and ensuring you have the biological foundation required to sustain the fight.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Under President Biden, Democrats were all too happy for the government <\/span>to foot the bill<\/span> for actual sex reassignment surgery for veterans and <\/span>active service members<\/span> through health care coverage. But to screen and provide for a biological factor tied to strength, concentration, and performance of active service members? Well, that\u2019s a bridge too far.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>mission<\/span><\/span> of the<\/span> military is to \u201cprovide the military forces needed to deter war and ensure our nation\u2019s security.\u201d Checking whether service members sworn to defend the nation are biologically capable of performing at their best level is not exactly a deranged idea.<\/span><\/p>\n
