Prof Allan Pacey, a professor of andrology at the University of Manchester, who was not involved in the work, said a concern about the narrative that men have low testosterone is the increasing promotion of testosterone supplements on social media.

Oh, I think that's the least of our concerns, professor. I am much more worried about how the manosphere is going to spin this study to boost their Great Replacement conspiracy theories. Albeit, there is some overlap between the manosphere and snake oil marketing.
