For example, someone who is AMAB/wolffian and dyadic may develop a body after puberty that is predominantly testosteronized due to their spermatogenesis, as well as individuals who go through hormone replacement therapy (HRT), but there are also intersex individuals whose natural sex traits are predominantly testosteronized due to genotype.
