It’s an article discussing the results of a study. Who/what would you recommend as gatekeeper for discussing studies over the current crowd-sourced method?

There is a timeless beauty in a post that complains that a press release covering a confirmation of findings that are over 20 years old is "obviously false"

Bhasin et al '01 tragically contradicts whatever bro podcaster mythology you were believing about testosterone Obviously Increasing sex drive. Which, if you read the article, you could have found and perused at your leisure!

Except there's a jillion studies out there showing that testosterone increases sex drive in those who are deficient, which is what any reasonable person would assume they mean.

Bait used to be believable.

I only have a basic understanding of endocrinology, but when I saw this headline, I thought "this is obviously true". Exhibit A: women.

The article contradicts your exhibit A: "Additionally, women, who naturally produce much less testosterone, reported an increase in sex drive, when given testosterone supplements."

Do you mean to suggest women have a lower sex drive? When I started taking estrogen and suppressing my T, my sex drive changed a lot but it didn’t reduce. It’s just more impacted by emotional factors like life stress and anxiety.
