>I’ve taken testosterone just to see what happens, and I understand the problems of teenage boys

I'm impressed. Reminds me of a female neuroscientist on TED who had to take a hormone cocktail designed for men as she was incapable of making her own and there were no cocktail designed for women. I remember her saying she was angry and sex-obsessed all the time. Probably a slightly exaggerated effect because she's not a man, but still pretty illuminating. Chemistry can change us so much, and there's plenty we can not understand with just empathy.

Similarly about depression I've heard Paul Gilmartin say that "thinking you understand depression because you've experienced sadness is like thinking you understand Italy because you've been to Olive Garden".
