Please stop linking this paper as if it is in anyway a conclusive piece of research. It is nothing but theory.
How Early Hormones Shape Gender Development

“Overall, the zeal for neuroimaging studies has yet to be matched by findings, with few clear and consistent patterns regarding androgen effects on brain structure and activation.”
This is the conclusion:
“Work on hormonal influences on gender development provides a nice model for understanding psychological development in general. Identifying mechanisms by which sex and gender matter can tell us about the ways that the prenatal environment primes us to elicit and respond to our social worlds, and how our biology and experiences transact across development to shape brain structure and function that guide behavior.”
I read that as a place holder for the future research it outlined needed to happen to prove the theories. There are no conclusions able to be drawn.
Here are the Highlights.
“Prenatal androgens influence sex-related characteristics to varying degrees.
Androgens facilitate male-typed activities through interest in things vs. people.
Androgens are associated with some aspects of brain structure and activation.
Current work is focused on interplay of hormones and social environment.
Relevant to questions regarding sex-related psychopathology, prenatal programming “
There are no strong conclusions to be drawn here about hormone effects beyond theory. Nothing also that proves any differences beyond infancy.
The paper presents theories that as yet have not been shown to be significant enough for a conclusion to be drawn in a peer reviewed environment. (It also had a section based on a self reported questionnaire about aspects of personality as well.)
And then it has a large section outlining plans for future studies to support the theory. Have those happened?
It is almost like it is a theory and there are some indications that the theory could be relevant in some ways but as yet there are merely plans to do further studies to be able to draw the conclusions that you, personally, wish to make as accepted science.
That you haven’t found research that has progressed this 10 year old theoretical paper is also significant. I would suggest you give up on this paper. It doesn’t say what you want it to say.
