I have to wonder what the health effects are on a baby when his/her mother is saturated in unnatural hormones during pregnancy.

I think that they must be taking a lot of testosterone in order to stimulate the growth of facial hair. Male babies already produce their own testosterone, which stimulates the growth of male characteristics. But what is the effect when they also get a load of testosterone in the uterine environment? And when the estrogen that they would normally receive is decreased or almost non-existent? Does that create some sort of hyper-male syndrome? The effect on female babies is a little easier to predict: hyper-masculinity, it does create male characteristics in female babies.

All fetuses start out with basically female characteristics; when the testes of male babies start producing male hormones, the babies develop male characteristics.

I am now think of ways to do a study on this, using mice, not humans. I am really curious about the effects on fetal development when women are pumped up with male hormones (and lacking female hormones) during pregnancy.

This is not an area where it’s a good idea to go forward with this lunacy when the effects on babies could be devastating. Not that liberals care about babies, but still...

Your post brought to mind that old advertisement.
I disremember what it was for, but it was something to the effect of "It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature." d;^)

When the y chromosome starts kicking in the fetus is practically bathed in testosterone, causing him to develop a lot of his secondary sex characteristics.

Good question.

And, in that scenario, what would the socio-biological consequences in the context (sans human governance) of Natural Selection be?

Maybe they could be turned into gladiators for the profitable amusement of the "cultured"...

... again, or something?

Testosterone is only a part of the socio-biological homeostatic equation, however.

What is "Napoleon Syndrome"?

Observe how the effeminate social engineers (both XX and XY) who've infested the postmodern corporate-cultural host organism make it self-evident that [naturally] elevated levels of testosterone are NOT requisite for the manifestation of vicious predatory/cannibalistic, socially destructive, behavior.

History repeatedly demonstrates that emasculated "leadership" and gladiatorial hyper-masculinization are not mutually exclusive in the same social context -- In fact, they're often observed to be symbiotic.
