I would prefer not to have my genitals tied to anything.

Talmonis posted:These bolded would seem to be covered under the typically high levels of testosterone in males. Short hair, "male" clothes and male colors seem to be entirely socially constructed. I don't think having high levels of testosterone would make you predisposed to driving loud cars and never showing feelings. For one thing, cars are a fairly recent invention. Throughout the entirety of human history, cars have been here for about 0.00001% of it. And as for the second, I'm guessing you've never spent time around young children because boys certainly show feelings, until they're forced to 'man up'.

Claverjoe posted:Presumably the effects of testosterone wouldn't really show up until it is being produced in larger quantities, such as when a boy hits puberty. If Testosterone truly has such a huge effect, wouldn't it manifest earlier? Such as when they're born, given that prenatal hormones determine sexual characteristics.

Claverjoe posted:Testesterone profiles during prenatal development and early childhood are different. General diagram for boys: From that chart, it seems that fetal exposure to testosterone peaks at about the same level as it does in pubescent boys, and with much greater intensity. If a love of cars and being stoney-faced is linked to testosterone, do these feelings slowly ramp up during puberty? How about the period before puberty where children play with toy cars etc.? How does that lull in testosterone account for that?

A doctor wouldn't do it, no, but there are tons of accredited body piercers who can do it, who know proper infection control measures and everything. Doing it yourself is insane. You might aswell give yourself a homemade tattoo.
