Testosterone is also prescribed for actual medical conditions - such as someone losing a testicle from cancer and thus requiring a testosterone boost to maintain regular hormone levels.

Edit: leaving the original text but clarifying: I should have used the words physiological conditions instead of medical conditions. There are physiological reasons why someone would need testosterone, as I mentioned in a reply: testicular cancer resulting in the loss of a testicle, hormonal imbalances resulting in reduced production in testosterone, and more.

"actual medical conditions" I see you

I mean as far as the body not working correctly - not to downplay elective gender treatments.

Low testosterone in anybody is not a fun time.

I won't offer my personal opinion as I'm not trans and it isn't really my place to weigh in but there is an ongoing discussion in the trans community for/against the medicalization of trans identities. Philosophy Tube made a great video that touches on it a while ago

I just read conditions with scare quotes — pretty sure not anti-gender-affirming, if you’re being serious.

Not to detract from your point, but gender dysphoria is a medical condition. The brain undergoes sex differentiation in utero, and the rest of the body usually but doesn't always match this.

Yeah, good point.

Testosterone is also prescribed for ~~actual~~ other medical conditions - such as someone losing a testicle from cancer and thus requiring a testosterone boost to maintain regular hormone levels.
