It used to be (and still is among some people) believed that testosterone contributed to aggression. Not only was that disproven, but it was discovered that the social misconception about the connection between testosterone and aggression was more likely to cause aggression than the hormone.
Her vehemence kinda makes me wonder if she has some insecurities about her own identity. Or maybe she really is that stupid.

I think it's been shown women can be just as aggressive, they merely act it out in different ways and not necessarily physically. Though women have abused men-- it may not be talked about that much but it is true.

The idea that somehow T just goes in and causes a person (perhaps somewhat mild mannered and quiet) to suddenly come out as a kind of monster, it's the Frankenstein or some other myth type story. Totally made up.

I'm pretty sure this person is not a happy person. Maybe she is having trouble finding a butch so she is blaming it on this. (Might look elsewhere.)

If she was a ftm or genderqueer in denial, it would certainly explain her obsession. The more I read through her blog, the more it seems to me that she's trying to convince herself more than everybody else. Her obsession is just so extreme. She's always lurking around in ftm forums, trying to find things to take out of context to make transguys look like sexist jerks.

Just to add a note of caution here, folks. However misinformed someone may be, the link to the source was removed for a reason and it's not really fair to discuss the motivations of someone who isn't here to defend themselves. Dispute the issue by all means, but let's try and ease off talking about the mental state of the person who raised it since there's really only one person who knows what's actually going on in her head, and she isn't here.

I missed out on the link so I don't really know who the link source "BS"er is, but yeah, what a silly theory. :D

Hi Guys,

Yes the link was removed.

There are some very silly people who sound very official and very authoritative while being total dorks.

Three things to learn in life.  If it is too good to be true, it is. If it is too stupid to be true, it's stupid.

Third. If people hate they have no reason to be accepted in an argument.

You ladies rock my socks.

I know the blogger. I read the sources provided. I don't agree with a lot of what this person has to say. T hasn't made me aggressive or angry and a lot of what is being said by this person is not true, but I think by giving this person notoriety we give them power over us.
