T: The Story of Testosterone, the Hormone That Dominates and Divides Us by Carole Hooven
3.0
informative medium-paced
The science is interesting, but I found the author's personal viewpoints insufferable. She might as well have subtitled this "Not All Men" for all her scrambling to justify why stereotypes about men are wrong. The transphobia is fairly pronounced as well, and particularly insidious the way she couches it in science. The chapters where she focuses more on animal behavior and evolutionary biology were more interesting, but I have no desire to hear anything further of her thoughts on human behavior.
