I quoted it more for the cute than for Teh Science. There is actually some scientific merit to the point she makes, but there are also flaws; it's mostly useful as a "here's a perspective adjustment" sort of quote than as a biology lesson.
(MTF and FTM transsexuals have described mood and behavioural changes resulting from changing hormones, and what they say is interesting. From what I recall of what an FTM friend told me, T didn't produce PMS-like effects, but did noticeably alter his driving, his agressiveness, his temper ... So no, the effects are not quite as described in this quote, but are interesting nonetheless.)
