The fight-fuck hormones.

You seem to be under the impression that “fight and fuck” are the only things caused by sexual hormones.

There have been studies how low testosterone/estrogen levels affect overall health:

Symptoms include hot flashes, hair loss, decreased muscle mass, increased body fat, fatigue, descreasing bone mass (osteoporosis), declining cognitive functions. increased risk of anemia, low blood pressure. (Testosterone, Estrogen)

This applies to both hormones by the way. Every human body, no matter their assigned gender, produces both Testosterone and Estrogen, albeit at different levels. If you would somehow delete both T and E from your body completely, you’d end up as a depressed, overweight, brittle-boned, constantly tired person with memory issues and a messed-up sleep schedule.
