That’s not a useless anecdote but I was looking more for data on this, if it exists.

I’d also have questions about your ability to build muscle as compared to someone who was assigned female at birth.

As an aside, this is very much outside my area of expertise and if I’ve used the wrong terms during this discussion I’m open to being corrected.

There are some published studies but I won't link them because they are very specific. They tracked thigh or quad muscles specifically. Feel free to look them up though.

Building muscle is a lot more difficult for me. You could politely ask any trans people if you have more questions about transitioning.

Also don't worry about saying the wrong thing, you're all good.
