    I'm pretty sure breast growth, or "gynecomastia" lol can happen with relatively minor hormone imbalances.

    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)

      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, lol

        The endless struggle between "was I ever taught this in school, or was I so apathetic at the time I wouldn't remember it."

        various factors can increase estrogen levels 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.
