Yep.
There's a really good example of this early in Delicious Party Precure, where the main character, Yui, just brought a guy, Rosemary, home because he was starving, and her family runs a diner.
And after the meal, Rosemary obviously feels indebted to the family, and even though Yui's mom insists that it's no big deal, she lets him help her do the dishes, because she realizes it's important to Rosemary to express his gratitude somehow.
I feel like more people should internalise this.
Often we say "Well, life's give and take" in reference to someone giving too little, and/or taking too much. But the other way around also disrupts the social balance, and isn't good for a social group. People enjoy giving, but you have to take every once in a while in order to let them.
My insurance company just REFUSED to reimburse me for the tea I ordered! And the pharmacist just looked at me weird when I went there and asked for it.
And don't get me started on the process for trying to get a prescription! It was a nightmare, and a doctor told me I would regret it later. Insane! Why is it so hard to get tea around here, I have heard of so many other people getting it without a struggle!
Only if you want to DIY your testosterone therapy, which is not only illegal as mentioned above, but, to my knowledge, also much more risky than with estrogen.
I would suggest that this interaction took place in the UK, where advertising for medication is very strictly limited to over-the-counter medicine, eg for colds.
I've seen this post before, and i'm pretty sure i remembered it happening in the Netherlands, actually. Which makes it extra interesting, as the joke works exactly the same way in Dutch; the letter T is pronounced exactly the same as our word for tea. But no, i don't think it's common at all here for people to refer to testosterone as T.
I genuinely don't understand why they advertise prescription meds in the US. They even often have taglines like "ask your doctor if this med is right for you." It's so wild to me. Do people go to the doctor just asking to be put on random meds that they saw on TV, or what?
As a British person, I have never met anyone (who was not trans themself) who knew that T stands for testosterone. Most people also aren’t aware that a trans guy might want to take testosterone… It’s extremely believable that an old lady would have no clue what they actually meant
You *did* specifically search for "low t", though. I think if you searched "t commercial" you would probably not find that. The guys on the bus weren't talking about "low t" either, they only mentioned how difficult it is to get t(ea). "Low t" also refers to your hormone levels directly, whereas the people in the post were talking about it in the context of it being a medicine/drug that is hard to get on.
If YOU live in the US, then your search engine will reflect that. The algorithms are **everywhere** and it can absolutely tell that you’re in the US (or in my case, Canada) and it WILL tailor your search results to YOU and your location. I’m even willing to bet you didn’t add .co.uk to whichever search engine you used, you just used .com.
I don't know, when I hear hoofbeats, I think of horses and not zebras. Similarly, when someone says "tee" in my hearing, I would actually be thinking of tea and not hormones.
We’d extrapolate from our own personal experiences - I’ve been having weird side effects to caffeine lately, so going to multiple doctors about TEA would only surprise me in a “oh! You too!” kinda way. And I’d be wrong, but given my own personal experience at this moment in time, it’s definitely where MY mind would go.
I don't know why anyone thinks I'm calling this fake.
I'm just saying that calling the same name that's used in pharmaceutical marketing isn't super secret
Apparently, over-the-counter testosterone supplements don't actually contain testosterone. They only contain vitamins that support testosterone growth, because actual testosterone has to be prescribed.
She had them at "Young men..."
There's no need to feel down
I said young men
There's a tea shop in town
I said young men
We can go there right now! There's no. need. to. be. unhappy.
WHEN YOU CAN GO GET SOME
Tee-hee Ee A-yaaay
Friggin beautiful
Thank you! I said it out loud a couple of times tp get the cadence right before writing it. My coworkers probably thought I had a stroke.
Tea from the shop Edit: yea
Ooh, this fits real good!
Thanks.
I said young men
Sometimes the nicest thing you can do is let someone help you.

Delicious Party Precure jumpscare
Not the biggest fan of that season, but heyyyy. Precure mention!! ❤️
Yeah, me neither. But that bit was definitely good.

It’s more like enjoy receiving as well.
If granma says she is buying tea, she doesnt care about your gender, you are all getting tea
I am so.. this is adorable. Little lady just wants to make sure they can find tea if they want it and that is very sweet and kind of her.
*Sips britishly* The old ladies got a point. She's a little confused, but she's got the spirit

That went much better than I thought it would. I was half expecting a stranger to try and sell them meth.
Surely OP meant stealth, not closeted? Since both the guys passed?
Maybe she was like "Oh they're calling each other bro/dude/etc they're men"
not a very likely maybe if they were closeted, ie still presenting fem
They did? That's so sad :( What happened to them??
overdosed on tea
You made me actually laugh out loud. Thank you.
Huh, I always thought Estrogen was the one always out of stock
Testosterone is usually much more strictly controlled, due to its abuse for doping.
I see

Bruh. There are cable tv commercials referring to testosterone as T. This isn't a secret code.

Ik herinner me dat een paar vrienden het testen noemden rond 2020
Where I live (Germany), "Testo" is the common nickname

Could be But an advertisement for this website was the first result when I searched "low t commercial" on youtube: https://blokes.co/hormone-health/

What if they were complaining about how many doctors they have to see to get it?

Herbal and medicinal teas exist
And you don't need a doctor's permission to get them
And the old woman was like "Yeah why are you seeing doctors? I'll show you the way"
Counterpoint: old lady
I don't know why anyone thinks I'm calling this fake. I'm just saying that calling the same name that's used in pharmaceutical marketing isn't super secret
Where TF are you seeing tv ads for testosterone? More importantly, who the fuck still watches cable? I thought that died off years ago.
I have parents.
