OK, so I did look at your pics and you don't appear to be in the super-high T zone like the pics I posted, but you're obviously no slouch in the T department.
Appearance checklist: Long chin: semi. Prominent brow: check. Prominent cheekbones: semi. Tiny frontal cranium: no. Extreme "wolfish" look of the face: no. Muscular build: check. Broad shoulders: check.
Have you ever had yours tested?
On me: I'm built more like a man than a woman in the shoulder/hip ratio, wear men's pants, have muscular arms, etc. I theorize that this is because of T, and this provoked my original interest in the subject.
Have you heard Ira Glass' program on T? This American Life, plays on NPR. The T program was 2002. Ira interviews a regular guy who temporarily lacks T for medical reasons, and examines what is different. He also interviews a dyke who gets a sex change to become a man, and starts taking T. The change in perception is fascinating.
We are the way we are because of hormones and neurotransmitters. If we change either of those things, we become very different people.
In the middle ages, a legal punishment for certain crimes was castration. You sure would change a guy by doing that. How to "fix" violent females is not so obvious.
So you mentioned that you have worked in various "high T" professions. I see "police" on your shirt. What else?
