The reason why T is not prescribed to women has absolutely nothing to do with misogyny. The FDA has not cleared T for female patients for a host of reasons - we do not have tests sensitive enough to measure androgen levels in women, we have no idea the longterm side effects (it could turn on cancer cells) and most importantly, there’s no guarantee that increasing T will increase sex drive in women. Trust me. If it was that simple, big Pharma would take a cue from viagra and laugh all the way to the bank.

These male hating narratives need to stop.
