just bare in mind that the testosterone defense is a legal defense that was used to excuse war crimes during the vietnam war. theres very little evidence testoterone promotes agression and you're helping the men excuse war crimes every time you plant flag on this one.

You might have more fedi reach than me and I support your cause this might help people understand
@Jazzy_Butts I like this guy yea. My understanding though is that outcomes of testosterone use in socially civilized societies is light compared to like, the dynamics based on impulse of monkeys (you can see how this reasoning could still be used to maintain sexist assumption making for instance). That is to say probably less influence than the secondary sex characteristics that we *still* insert biases on but if anything is true this is *more* true than the point of aggression (which people implicate to being 'natural' which as youve pointed out is wrong).
Another important point to remember is that everyone has testosterones and estrogen running through them its just about what levels are dominating which that provide secondary sex characteristics. But I appreciate the illustration nonetheless.

@Jazzy_Butts I know this can get super opinionated and 'its not like that' etc. etc. based on competing views of patriarchy etc. so just to stake my claim here, I'll give you a study in exchange.
Women chess players are often prejudice against for a variety of factors and people incorrectly assume that women chess players can't perform as well as men (because so few of them are grandmasters). But in reality its because sexist societal factors are pushing them out. In reality they actually overperform in relationship to men. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29364771

@Erato_Heti Correct imo. I recently learned about a baseball pitcher who struck out pros back in the old days and she was only 17, they banned her despite being so good... because she was a woman. I hate sexists.
