This is kind of a weird one. I know from my trans woman friend that the hormones she is on eventually killed the functioning of her testicles. By taking the cocktail of hormones she now takes, the body feels that the male hormones are no longer needed, so the testicles stop working. I don't think the tissue is dead, but they just stop working, so no more ejaculation and no more testosterone. (She is not undergoing bottom surgery, so will be keeping them). She also has to keep taking her drug cocktail for life, because the body must have a small amount if either estrogen or testosterone to survive.
With this knowledge from real life, I came across a story about a former "steroid supplier to the stars" who was talking about that some of the most macho action stars and body builders no longer have working testicles. Their claim was that the steroids, male growth hormones, and artificial testosterone can have the same effect as the hormone cocktail as trans women have. Even though it's male hormones, if the body detects the substances in the body that it looks to be created from the testicles from the various drugs being used, it will turn the testicles off in the same way as the trans cocktail.
According to the person expressing this story, people who use those things can use them in limited amounts of time to build muscles and the manly action physique, but that if you aren't careful and keep taking them for an overly sustained period, you can accidentally turn off your testicles. Supposedly, some big name folks have done that very thing, and thus have to keep getting illegal amounts of steroids and other things to maintain their muscle and health.
The main person mentioned as having this problem was Sylvester Stallone, who apparently had a hushed-up arrest trying to get steroids and human growth hormones and artificial testosterone into another country while making a film. However, they implied that most of the macho bodybuilding stars have this same problem.
So what thinks the Good Ship Forteana? Reasonable, or just a UL?
