The conversation is very technical and I just wanted to point towards a "simple" example that most people can relate to.
Yes the behavioural effect of hormones goes beyond simple "aggresion up" nonsense, however it is reported that feelings of loneliness, aggresion and hornyness are reported in many transmen when starting the test treatments. Between this observation and the memories of male puberty many cis men have I think using aggresion as a proxy to describe some of perhaps bio causes of our societal understanding of masculinity is not a terrible example.
I used pink/blue as an example of non bio masculine and feminine traits that point towards the core issue of masculinity being entirely a social construct and the bio argument being almost irrelevant when discussing the whole thing. I just thought it was a simple example, but I do concede that hormone effects on the body are multiple, complicated and in many ways misunderstood so perhaps it was not a great choice.
