My teacher said today that men with high testosterone may have weaker immune systems against viruses. Women, with more estrogen, tend to have stronger immune responses, possibly due to the extra X chromosome. This could explain why men experience more inflammatory symptoms, such as fatigue and pain, in viral infections. Is this true? I don't see how this could be true, considering that men have been involved in risky activities from the beginning, and a supposedly weaker immune system would be quite counterintuitive.
>>16916849Testosterone is moderately immunosuppressive, even among trannies taking HRT. Men, as well as women taking Testosterone, tend to be more susceptible to the direct consequences of viral infection. It's not as cut and dry as "men are weaker to viruses" though. Women, and men taking estrogen, have a stronger immune response resulting in greater susceptibility to immunological complications (inflammation). Women tend to have more adverse vaccine reactions, even.Basically testosterone makes you shrug off serious problems and estrogen makes you overreact to nothingburgers.Study with lots of reference to prior work:https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07789-z
>>16916849Then why do women suffer more chronic inflammation diseases?

>>16916849Ask her what about if you feel you have a y chromosome does that effect anything?
>>16916849From what I've heard estrogen is associated with a stronger immune response, which is part of why women are far more susceptible to autoimmune disease. I'm not sure if it necessarily means men are weaker against viruses or anything like that though, I don't think it's quite that simple.
>>16916849The life of a woman, social behavior at total saturation will lead to more viral infections. Men don't speak to another person for weeks on end
