      i have tried both testosterone and estrogen (trans). Testosterone rage is definitely real and so is estrogen mood swings. It’s not like the movies though, moreso you can’t solve a puzzle so you ragequit and just are really pissed off.

      estrogen will make you cry over a pidgin because it walks cute

  What testosterone really does is when your status is being challenged, testosterone makes you do whatever you need to do to maintain status. You can have an economic game where people get status by making generous offers and give people testosterone and they become more generous in the game. In other words, if you shot up a whole bunch of Buddhist monks with testosterone, they would run amok doing random acts of kindness all over the place.

  Testosterone doesn’t make you aggressive

  I can think of one male friend who prefers handshakes, but the rest, we all hug at each greeting and parting and regularly tell each other we love one another.

  We don’t really cuddle all that often though.

    Sounds like maybe you’re too much of a pussy to cuddle your boys?

    Because you are bad at counting. There’s one more at the very end, behind the branch. You can only see a an eye and an ear.

  Pair-bonded? This is just what we in the field of Gender Studies call homosocial.

  I envy these creatures, they get to cuddle all the time, and not worry about someone overthinking it.
