@testosteronejew on Twitter shared a couple articles yesterday, re: testosterone is a Schedule 3 controlled substance in the US. I'm passing on the links:
S.2195 - Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004
"How the Criminalization of Testosterone Attacks Gender Variant People." Adryan Corcione. Filter Mag. December 2, 2021.
"My Story Is One of Many": The Criminalization of Testosterone HRT." Stann Fransisco. Folx. May 31, 2022.
Not to mention during that time, testosterone therapy was a very successful treatment for gay men affected by HIV/AIDS, so Biden has even more blood on his hands. Here's Albert Benson (founder of PoWeR) giving his write-up on the matter pic.twitter.com/3F9OvCouqT

Hawaii Has an Opportunity to Improve Gender-Affirming Care Access: Testosterone's status as a controlled substance makes it harder to prescribe via telehealth under Hawaii law. A new bill would change that. Garnet Henderson. Rewire News Group. Feb 28, 2024.

Check out this long article by Jules Sherred, a trans man and competitive bodybuilder. Pete Hegseth is Obsessed With Testosterone. Here’s All the Neat Science the Manosphere’s Not Talking About, Assigned Media, July 16, 2026. In particular, note this (emphasis mine):
"While it may have once been innocuous to conflate affirming therapy with replacement therapy, it has now resulted in transmasculine people being banned from sport—even transmasculine people previously granted exemptions—as governing bodies have now adopted the term TRT for all forms of therapeutic use. Outside of specific forms of hypogonadism that are not the result of aging, the World Anti-Doping Agency has never recognized testosterone replacement for andropause as a reason for issuing an exemption while it has long recognized it for affirming care.
All of this has also led to a misconception that there are fewer transmasculine athletes than transfeminine athletes when the reality is, transmasculine athletes aren’t allowed on the field."
