Megan C would love to hear a take on this too. It's not just testosterone that affects sports through growth hormones and estrogen and thyroid hormones and cortisol they're all ingredients in the juicy ambrosia that is our mind and body. I believe that we queer individuals probably have a pretty good idea about what's going on and should honestly trust ourselves. We don't necessarily need evidence to believe what people are telling us or we need scientific evidence to Believe What People Are Telling Us.
The wonderful neuroscientist and endocrinology researcher Dr. Daniel Pfau is back for Part 2 to answer listener mail about how hormones affect our moods, the variation of gender expression, queer lizards, how a strict gender binary is harmful to entire populations, hormone replacement therapy, hormones in sports, gender dysphoria, additional info on the Gender Unicorn and more. They remain just charming and kind and this episode will help you further understand just how many ways there are to be human. Also: it’s okay to take a mental health day once in a while.
