anatomy, human development stuff, scuffed
The human body in the embryonic stage iirc starts as "female" by default, and stays that way unless it gets hit with testosterone. I'm brutally oversimplifying and someone else might swing in to explain better, but the penis as we see it is basically an overgrown clitoris with a urethra in it, they are analagous structures. Hence the 'vulvas are just ballsacks that didn't finish forming' which is D tier knowledge but an S tier meme.A person assigned male at birth who never gets any testosterone (via hormone blockers like antiandrogens) can do puberty via estrogen and get lots of cool "female" stuff like widening of the pelvis, shorter arms, whatever's "typically" associated with being a woman. It depends on when bones fuse and stuff but you can still get this later sometimes, and of course estrogen is pretty good at feminising even if you are "all done" skeletal development. I don't personally think there is as dramatic a skeletal difference as people seem to think. I also really dislike the subject matter as it always strikes me as Gender Phrenology and leads to brainworms very often.
I'm pretty sure breast growth, or "gynecomastia" lol can happen with relatively minor hormone imbalances. Some cis men have it, even. Hormones are cool and rad, you should look into them!!

Yea, apparently. I'm really surprised, I thought you would need E for that to happen.
They sound cool! I am! Actually just the other day I learned that it wasn't just T that influenced "male" features, but some other hormone too. (I think this was from ftw, I really need to figure out how to put all my thoughts together about it)
spoiler
People assigned male still have a small amount of estrogen production naturally anyway, and various factors can increase estrogen levels slightly. Hormones are actual magic basically! And yeah both primary sex hormones have other associated lil guys, lolThe endless struggle between "was I ever taught this in school, or was I so apathetic at the time I wouldn't remember it."
Only slightly
You were almost certainly not taught this in school. Westoid education systems are cowardly places that would never bestow such magic.
Yeah, no way to stimulate magical estrogen production so far, or else HRT might not be necessary. Ovary transplants could be funny for this reason iirc.
