If you don't want to start T because you don't want to take it away from 'the people that need it' or you're afraid you'll become 'ugly' or a 'rage monster' or something you should start it anyway. There's enough testosterone to go around, and a single hormone that you already produce isn't nearly enough to alter your entire personality. Your looks will change, but no amount of conventional beauty is a replacement for the confidence of being able to look in the mirror and see yourself.

It is so fucking sinister that the only form of child abuse that society really cares about is sexual in nature. parents are free to control everything about their child's movement, presentation, eating, faith traditions, information exposure, socialization, and can restrict all of these things to an extreme degree as a form of punishment or in order to shape the child into whatever they want that child to be. and that's all considered completely normal, the parent's right! people don't even see the fact that a parent has the power to control so much about a child's life for damn near 20 years to be a problem. The only time they become concerned about child abuse is when the prospect of an outside stranger behaving in a sexual way toward a child is raised. and yeah a lot of really horrific sexual abuses are enacted unto children, but that's because they have zero control over their own lives and bodies in any other way as well. It is all about power and control. and typically the ones who are abusing children the most frequently are the ones who have the most control over them, the parents.
