It seems as though researchers have developed a pill for men. Interestingly, it operates on the same principle as the female pill: induce pregnancy hormones. In order to counteract the problems that this would cause on a male system (impotence, decreased sex drive, etc.), they also pump the body with testosterone.

I’m fascinated that we’re willing to allow this level of hormone messing for folks to keep from getting pregnant, but we still won’t allow hormone futzing for trans folks. How much do you want to bet that this will be covered by insurance the moment that it is released on the market?
