Never said it was a sin...I'm saying it's unhealthy and phony...And although you get them from a doctor, most people don't and that IS illegal...You are so skinny on drugs, makes me wonder how small you would be without them, that's probably why you take them....ego
You are the one who brought the idea that taking hormones is somehow going against Christian tenets. Why would you even bring that up? And what is phony about it? It's not inherently unhealthy unless abuse. In fact, done judiciously it's healthy and improves quality of life. Testosterone is not phony and it is not a drug. It's a naturally occurring hormone and my levels with HRT are well within the reference range. Results that I posted. And anything can be abused. I'll bet dollars to donuts that you abuse food and you have a gut you wish you could rid of but can't because of this abuse. And I'm sure it's contributed to other health problems. I'll also bet that I am in way, way better physical condition than you are and in better shape than you even when you were my age. I get a blood test every 4-6 months and my physical performance and functional ability are better than most 30 years younger than I am.
And to you, anything anybody does to improve their quality of life is ego. My quality of life is enhanced with HRT. Do you still life weights and work out? Why? Ego? Even "natural" muscles are not natural and will disappear as soon as you stop lifting weights. And for everybody, natural or enhanced, everything is temporary. It's how you want to live in this temporary existence.
I'm sure if Arnold drop dead today people like you will be saying, "See, see! Hormones kill! I keep warning you!" Totally discounting the kind of life he lived. A life that is just beyond anything most people can even dream of.
Is the goal in life to just hang on and just exists as long as you can?
