This is one of the most thorough investigations I've seen on a topic that gets dismissed as fringe. The scale of testosterone misuse you document here, especially in law enforcment and among political figures, should be front page news. The connection between elevated testosterone and shifts in political preferences is facinating, and the fact that it could have swung swing states is a sobering thought. We talk about social media algorithms warping behavior, but chemical interventions might be doing even more damage to our civic fabric.
Gives new meaning to the phrase "toxic masculinity." Love the detailed research and examples. Fascinating. I'll have to check out whether you also write about the irreversible side effects of T on women who want to appear male elsewhere. If not, please do. I recommend Carole Hooven's book, The Story of Testosterone, the Hormone that Dominates and Divides Us.
I take a tiny bit of testosterone as part of HRT. It’s hard for me to imagine how women tolerate higher doses. Just the tiny bit I inject (half of my prescribed weekly dose, only every other week) makes me breakout like a pubescent teenager. Large doses have extremely unpleasant and unattractive side effects on women… unless you are trans I can’t see the appeal.

It will be interesting to observe how American character changes as GLPs reduce risk tolerance while TRT increases it.
Holy cow.
