low-T
Male hormone shortage
Low-T is informal shorthand for low testosterone, referring to below-normal levels of the male sex hormone.
The term gained currency through pharmaceutical advertising for testosterone replacement therapy.
Beyond medical contexts, low-T functions as an insult suggesting a man lacks traditionally masculine traits—weakness, passivity, or insufficient aggression: That was a low-T move, backing down like that.
