Boy Became Muscular, Grew Pubic Hair, and Developed a "Sizable" Penis

Interesting. Are these results reproducible?

The gender pendulum may begin swinging in the other direction. For those with an intact pendulum.

Taking testosterone is a risky thing.

Some men grow tits and their balls shrink.

I guess your body has it's natural level so if you take more it can stop you producing your own.

"Sizeable" sounds like a pretty good deal.

I'm also a fan of tits, so I'm weighing my options.

Quit hating on my dream.

Makes you go bald too

See women just don't have to deal with that kind of stuff. Periods can be stopped and you can even become male with extra hormones. On the other side it's all doom and gloom.

"He'd have massive, sustained erections and his height and weight were off the charts."

Sounds like like they're fetishizing it.

Why are they putting testosterone gel on a 2yo kid?

If only there was some way to discover more information about the title... 🤔

It appears that the 2-year-old must have come into contact with the topical hormone gel on his dad’s skin.

Of course the parents are going to claim it was accidental but there is no fucking way it was. These results are clearly from constant massive doses of T. No parent would be stupid enough have contact with a child right after applying the gell and it would not be active for a long time after application.

I have a steroidal cream that I have to be incredibly careful to keep away from the wife and Gizmo, as well as not allowing it to touch my rolling tobacco in any way, shape or form. I think from brief incidental exposure caused a patch of abnormal fur growth in Gizmo when he was young.

it would not be active for a long time after application.

Are you assuming that, or do you know something I don't? Because chemicals don't completely absorb into the body. They're there, on your skin, and transferred by contact, until they degrade or you remove them, where they go into the water supply for us to encounter again until they degrade, if they degrade.

You sleep in your bed with the gel on, your sheets have the drug till you wash them... It's a whole thing with certain drugs like these. It's such a pain in the ass I don't even tend to use my steroid cream, and that's not as problematic as testosterone.

The curious thing though, if this were an accidental transfer -- which seems a real possibility to me -- is why the wife wasn't affected.

I think you'll feel better without it

It's for skin irritation. It's not the only thing that works, but it's very effective.

That's weird. From everything I've witnessed testosterone makes your skin much worse.

Mine is a steroid cream, I mentioned it because I have issues with unintentional transfer too.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Agreed.

I read the shitty piece. As is evidenced by my other comment.

Sorry gel, I’m waiting for the microchip that will give me superpowers.

Does it work on adults too?
