Hanging out with my high school best friend for the first time in a while, and he just casually drops that he wants to move to Poland because there’s “no migrants there.”

Later on, when he’s scrolling on TikTok, I overhear it. It’s just blatant, inbred-style racism against Indians, black people, and so forth. Then he starts trying to quiz me — a white guy dating a girl who isn’t white, by the way — on whether some cultures just aren’t compatible.

And on and on. Not everything can be anti-Semitism. Maybe Jews do run the world; why’s it so bad to say that? Watch any video of a white girl walking in India and see how safe it is there. Nick Fuentes might be edgy, but he makes good points.

The whole world just feels like some funhouse mirror version of the one pre-COVID where everything is dark and hopeless, and even people I know and care about have changed.

I’ve been on TRT for about two years because I had the levels of a 90-year-old. My tests came back with 100 total or something, then 250.

I’m 28.

Anyways, I started thinking more recently about how I at least want the option to have kids one day, and so I asked an urology clinic to set me up with a fertility specialist. My hope was to figure out a plan, come off as briefly as I needed to (if I needed to), and just freeze a ton of sperm so I’d have that as a backup plan at least.

Immediately, the doctor who made the referral to the specialist commented that “he’s going to want you to come off TRT.” I thought that was odd because I know some guys have had success just taking HCG or some other regimen while on TRT, and I at least thought he would want to run some tests or something. But I figured I’d wait until I saw him.

It turns out he does \*not\* want to wait until then, because today, one of his nurses messaged me and said he wants me to come off T now.

Honestly, this made me angry because I get the sense this guy is someone who sees a younger guy and assumes he’s just juicing. But I take the prescribed amount and my health, mental health, and everything else has only improved. It’s a night and day difference. My life is so much better now.

Should I just cancel and find a different doctor, or am I out of touch with how this goes?

I’m willing to come off TRT, to be clear. But this felt a little preemptive to me.
