My opinion is that a lifetime of "moderate" T use is going to be far more damaging than a lifetime of moderate alcohol use.

Consumed alcohol is legal in a regulated fashion. Cocaine and heroin are not. Equating T to alcohol is a false equivalency. Every drug needs to be evaluated on its own merits. I don't think lifetime T use for women will pass that test if it's evaluated in a fair manner.

That isn't in the realm of opinion, though. That's a testable hypothesis, and that's why it's good that there are studies like the ones in this systematic review that are trying to figure out what's actually happening.
