Some of the same people who deny effect of PRE-natal T have no problem saying things like FTMs on T can get"roid rage" & other behavioral changes from POST-natal T. The brain is part of the body. Of course it's affected by hormones. Obligatory caveat: Socialization matters.

Certain feminists got angry about this article, which covers replicated evidence that T can have a deleterious (though not massive) effect on language facility in FTMs, even after a short period. Even more inconveniently, T can *enhance* spatial skills.https://4thwavenow.com/2017/08/18/thoracic-outlet-syndrome-deteriorating-verbal-fluency-not-on-your-typical-informed-consent-form/ …

The fear, here, of course, is that such data will be used wrongly to say "women can't do math!!" But effects of hormones are not be-all end-all, and bell-curve averages say NOTHING about individuals. Why is this so contentious?

Why is it a bad thing if more women prefer "people" jobs? This does NOT mean women should be discriminated against when applying for "thing" jobs. But how is it not a devaluation of people-pursuits to deny categorically that (ON AVERAGE) males/females have different preferences?
