ELI5:Why do we look down on HGH users when it is perfectly acceptable for women to use hormone replacement therapy.

I have done some looking and I can't find any reason why HGH is so vilified. As we age our bodies start to produce less of the substance, so it would make sense to take boosters the same way women going through menopause do for various hormones.

I think HGH is looked down on because it is linked to cheating in athletics and sports. It is grouped with steroids and other performance enhancers as something that is really bad. However it is like all other drugs, when used in moderation it can be beneficial. Part of the issue of people being so against HGH also comes from the people that are associated with using it. HGH is used in the weightlifting and bodybuilding community for obvious reasons, but is sometimes abused, or mixed with other substances. Some of these people can be unpleasant or of a more aggressive persuasion, leading to HGH and steroids being linked to aggression and violence.
