    One thing I will say he doesn’t get enough flack for is being a part of the body dysmoprhia machine. Soo many young men are taking steroids now and have body image issues. What used to be great physiques are now seen as scrawny partly due to these guys blasting gear and making it seem glamorous.

      On the positive side, decades of underground gym bro steroid compounding resulted in the infrastructure and community practices that the trans homebrew community now uses to get HRT to trans people shut out by the medical system. The majority of trans people have used or use DIY HRT at some point in their lives, and that infrastructure comes right out of the gym bro steroid culture.

        Yeah I always joke that anyone on steroids is technically undergoing gender affirming therapy lol. They hate that but it’s true so…
