House Democrat: Hegseth testosterone screenings indicative of ‘homoeroticism’
Balint said the screening plan reflects Hegseth’s hypermasculine politics as the Pentagon said it will require annual tests for troops 30 and older.
- On Thursday, U.S. Rep. Becca Balint criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's new testosterone initiative, comparing his cultivated "rugged macho man" image to hypermasculine figures drawn by artist Tom of Finland.
- Hegseth announced the mandatory testosterone screening program Wednesday for service members age 30 and older, promoting it as part of a "High-T Department of War" to keep troops "strong, resilient and capable."
- Balint linked the initiative to Hegseth's personnel decisions, citing reports he removed nine officers from a Navy promotion list, leaving an all-male group of 22 advancing to one-star admiral.
- She stressed the administration's stated merit-based system contradicts its actions, alleging officials hold "weird, intense, homoerotic feelings towards men" while engaging in "fear mongering" about LGBTQ+ people.
- The Pentagon has not disclosed the program's estimated cost, the testosterone level considered deficient, or how policy applies to women; critics argue it contradicts efforts to restrict gender-affirming care.
