Imagine being in a patheticism competition and your opponent is Pete Hegseth

I thought Idiocracy was supposed to be a movie

~~Forcing~~ Heavily recommending gender affirming care.

All these old MAGAts and fuckfaces take testosterone supplements so fucken much. The old owner of the company I work at was one of these dudes. Its all about being s teenager forever.

I just can’t. No one ever suspected that there were a group of people who could be so fucking brain dead and stupid that it would become some sort of superpower. Like the dumbest most inept motherfuckers. MAGA are pedophiles accomplices and idiots of the highest order.

In other words, Pete Hegseth introduces mandatory gender-affirming tests as part of servicemember health evaluations.

How the fuck is this not The Onion

He seems to be obsessed with the purity of bodily fluids, just like Jack D. Ripper. Even looks a little like him.

One step away from penis inspection day

Yes, let’s also pump them full of methamphetamine and we’ll create good little Sturmtruppens to do the füeher’s bidding.

u can’t make this shit up

Prioritizing testosterone makes a lot of sense when you’re an anthropomorphic scrotum.

This guy is such a pussy. He overcompensates all the time and clearly has an inferiority complex. Must have a rather tiny penis to think being that macho is somehow important or a good thing. Probably an incel, too.

What the fuck is wrong with these people

Whaaaaaaaat? The fuck is going on with toxic masculinity? The dudes are not ok

This is an aspect of totalitarianism. When a government attempts to subordinate all of society to a single ideology and state control. This is an attempt to elevate the idea of the strong, virile, white male as one of the solutions to all of our problems. It supports the approach in Iran where all we have to do is bomb them back to the stone age in order to "win". Another example is when Hegseth made all the generals come to Washington, in person, to dress them down, or to rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War, or to stop the promotion of women to higher ranks. Not only does it tie in nicely with the incompetence of the administration, because, what is the need for thinking through things or considering the consequences of actions when all you need is might, but it also serves as a distraction to the dangers happening behind the scenes like Russell Vought dismantling the federal government or the unimpeded creation of the surveillance state or the rise of unelected oligarchs who have far too much influence on society. And don't even get me started about the complete inability of the democrats to meet this moment.

Gender affirming care.

In fairness, TBIs can cause long term testosterone deficiency. This isn't the worst idea for combat veterans... assuming that the reason is to get them proper medical care

Narrator: that was not the reason.

This guy beats women and more than likely rapes children

Low-T isn't even a real problem worth testing for like this. I'm not against testing for it when medically helpful, but the very public nature of this announcement sounds more like an attempt at signalling pro-masculine virtue rather than to tackle a real problem.

This nonsense is antithetical to a healthy military. Republicans always make the very self-destructive choice of using the military as a testing ground for their weird ideas, in a way that disincentivises employment with it.

When they wanted to purge trans people, they started with the military, because it was the biggest thing they had any control over. Lots of talented people left for the private sector with damage to morale as well. Now they're projecting their male fragility delusions onto the military in hopes that they can become more masculine and therefore "strong".

None of this does anything to make the military better at what it does. It's like Hegseth looked at UFC fighters (some of the most useless dumbasses in existence) and decided they were even stronger than our troops. It's like the military has low confidence in its sexuality, and is overcompensating. It's a bizarre look.

What a fucking weirdo.

Walking right up to the line of mandatoring "gender hormone therapy"...

While the screenings will be mandatory for eligible service members, Hegseth said that any resulting treatment would remain voluntary. "If treatment is recommended, it's entirely your choice to receive testosterone replacement therapy," he said.

...this is the onion, right? ..right?

That is some seriously tiny dick energy.

I thought this was the Onion. WTF?

Gotta love it when evil assholes sabotage themselves.
