A rarely discussed issue that impacts trans men (and transmasculine medically transitioning NBs) is that, in the US, testosterone is a controlled medication because of its illegal use by cis men for doping.

and transfemme. hey did you know transfem and transmasc aren't synonyms for AGAB and using them like this is transphobic? trans women don't all identify as feminine, trans men don't all identify as masculine

Transmasculine in this context refers to the masculinizing effects of testosterone, so I'm honestly not really sure what you're talking about. AFAB NBs who don't want to be masculinized wouldn't take testsoterone.

yeah I figured you meant it that way testosterone isn't inherently masculinizing tho masculinity and femininity are arbitrary ideals and for some of us, testosterone could be "feminizing" or vice versa with estrogen like I'm a transmasc but I can tell you were referring to

Interesting. Guess we'll have to agree to disagree on what masculine/feminine means.
