    That’s not how testosterone works. It’s not fuel, it’s just a signal. Everyone’s neutral baseline is calibrated differently depending on developmental events mainly in the womb. It’s not about how much absolute testosterone you have in a snapshot, it’s about how much higher or lower you are than your own personal baseline. Your body will tend to maintain near your baseline, which might be much higher or lower than someone else’s baseline, while “meaning” the same thing.
