On what are you basing that?

Yes it is and I didn't claim it wasn't, so this is a strawman.
There's nothing personally indicting about having low testosterone. It's relatively common and it's potentially a serious medical condition. There is no reason to take offense from this.
Becuase you're associating their reaction to "a serious medical condition" because it is "not normal."
I wanted to add a counter to that and say they are very normal and support them rather than suggest they go to the doctor.
My assessment of your intentions was wrong, as I can't know that, but I stand by the other two statements.

I don't see a reason to counter anything I said. I offered neutral information that may help the OP. If the OP's testosterone levels are indeed low due to a serious medical condition, then you've just done them a major disservice. Even if you're of the opinion that it's normal, it's reasonable for someone else to assess that feeling sadness to the degree of provoking tears in response to deciding not to use productivity software is a cause for concern.
I appreciate the sentiment.
The point I was making in my initial reply was in response to the trivialization of what someone else cares about ("sad enough to cry over productivity software"). That to me is by definition judgmental.
I don't believe there is a universal list of things that is OK to care deeply enough to cry about. There are plenty of things you would cry about that I would not, but I can understand why you would care deeply about those things. Or maybe you are of the opinion that crying isn't allowed at all. Which is also an opinion.

Weak man argument. They said low T is "potentially" a serious condition.
