Socialization matters certainly but not as much as testosterone.

I feel like saying it’s all testosterone is infantilizing to men and makes it where they aren’t responsible for bad behavior. Plus, it can’t explain guys who don’t display toxic masculinity.

As I said I think socialization plays a part but it’s mostly to testosterone.

Does this mean men who aren’t abusive or violent have lower testosterone? Does this also mean that, unless they happened to be one of the males who already had lower testosterone, all transwomen were abusive and violent before taking cross sex hormones? Can you cite this?

My husband is pretty calm and never abusive. Does he have low testosterone?
