Would it be an unwarranted extrapolation to infer that women lie more than men then?

So just 1 ng/ml between the treatment and control groups made such a noticeable difference? Damn, I'm running around with 12 ng/ml. Guess I should abstain from becoming a spy and covert actions in general

I wonder if the results change with long term treatment instead of a one-time testosterone application

sure! why bother lying when you can just rip someones head off

my favorite anecdote from living in the left end, was that f to m tranies quite often cant handle the T (testosterone) they are taking and give up, often with a new respect for men "how can you handle living with that!"
