T: The Story of Testosterone, the Hormone That Dominates and Divides Us by Carole Hooven
3.0
Thank you to the publisher and author for a copy to read and review!
My main reason for wanting to read this book stems from the fact I was on systemic (full body) testosterone for a year due to the birth control pill blocking my production of testosterone in my body. Essentially, I was without testosterone for who knows how long!
I wanted to read a book detailing what testosterone does to the body, and really wanted to be picky and see if this book detailed females being on testosterone. Unfortunately, there wasn't many examples of the type of testosterone treatment I was on, but instead focused on transitioning females to males, as well as hormonal deficiencies in fetuses that affect later life.
This was a very knowledgeable book though about bodily functions, sexual drives, and hormonal changes that testosterone can cause. I recommend reading this book if you have any interest in hormones.
