The fact that some women are turning to testosterone as a way to fit societal beauty standards is super concerning . It's like they're saying "we have to conform to these unrealistic expectations or we're not worthy". That's some serious body-shaming right there . And what's even scarier is that it's being sold as a solution, rather than addressing the root issues of body positivity and self-acceptance . I mean, where's the debate around that? Shouldn't we be talking about why women feel they need to change their bodies to fit in, rather than pushing more products onto them ? We need to shift the conversation from "how can we make testosterone safer" to "why are we still living in a society that values physical appearance over self-worth"?
I think this trend is kinda worrying... all these ads on social media promoting testosterone as a magic solution to get the "perfect" body... like, what's considered perfect anyway? Everyone has different bodies and shapes, you know? And then there are the risks involved... acne, hair growth, male-pattern baldness... not worth it in my opinion. We should be focusing on self-acceptance and self-love, rather than trying to conform to some unrealistic beauty standard.
I think its pretty wild how social media is influencing our perceptions of beauty and our bodies. Like, who decides what's beautiful and what's not? And why do we need to conform to these unrealistic standards in the first place? It feels like were putting all this pressure on ourselves to look a certain way, just so we can feel good about ourselves. But honestly, I think its also kinda scary how easily we can get our hands on testosterone now. Like, what other hormone is available to us that we cant use at will? And the risks associated with it are pretty serious, so yeah lets make sure we're being super careful and doing our research before making any decisions about hormone therapy.
OMG yaaas I'm low-key tired of the beauty standards on instagram!! like girl bye they're not real lol but for real though women gotta be careful w/ testosterone it's not worth the risks acne hair loss and whatnot can be major issues. we need more awareness about hormone therapy and proper testing before anyone decides to hop on the testosterone train . and can we talk about how messed up social media is for a second? it's like they're selling these unrealistic bodies and everyone's trying to keep up .
I'm low-key worried about this trend . I get that social media can be super influential, but it's not worth risking your health for a "perfect" body . Testosterone is a serious hormone with real side effects - have you seen those Instagram posts of women with acne and excess hair growth? Not cute . And PCOS is no joke either. It's like, we're already dealing with so many issues in our lives, do we really need to mess with our hormones too? I think we should be promoting self-love and acceptance, not trying to fit some unrealistic beauty standard .
