    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 sulking on the couch.
    Same thing happens no matter the hormones but it's WAY less common to me on E.

    estrogen will make you cry over a pidgin because it walks cute. I genuinely can't describe it.

    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.

    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.
