re: testosterone and agression:  psychotic, violent, behavior patterns
are predominately male behaviors. Also, a direct correlation between
excess testosterne levels and habitual rapists exists (habitual vs
"date-rape" which I believe is primarily a cultural issue).

re: crying:  many men can reach the point of almost crying but can't
seem to quite make it over some unknown threshold.  Under estrogen that
threshold is breached and there is significant evidence to indicate
that it is breached because of new nuero-pathways being formed via
estrogen receptor site bonding.

re: gender:
there are NO(none, zero) cases of a psychologist EVER successfully
changing a person's gender identity (something which forms in the child
at the age of 1.5 to 2 years), though there are THREE cases of
successful transsexual surgery each DAY in the U.S.A.
