This is Robert Galbraith - a femme-presenting cís man, who sometimes uses the gender non-specific name 'JK Rowling' to fool people into believing they are female.
You can see from the photo that Robert has undergone a great deal of facial feminisation surgery over the years

A crash course on biology for those who would like to understand better.

Hypogonadism: When the body's sex glands (gonads) produce little or no hormones. In men, these glands are the testes. In women, these glands are the ovaries.
XY- gonadal dysgenesis or Swyer syndrome - rare genetic condition in which people who have an X chromosome and a Y chromosome (the usual pattern for males) look female. Though they typically have normal vulvas, the person has underdeveloped gonads, fibrous tissue termed "streak gonads", and if left untreated, will not experience puberty. The individual's gonads do not have two X chromosomes, so the breasts will not develop and the uterus will not grow and menstruate until estrogen is administered. Their gonads cannot make progesterone, so menstrual periods will not be predictable until progestin is administered, usually as a pill. Their gonads cannot produce eggs, so conceiving children is not possible.
XX gonadal dysgenesis is a type of female hypogonadism in which the ovaries do not function to induce puberty in an otherwise normal girl whose karyotype is found to be 46,XX. With nonfunctional streak ovaries, she is low in estrogen levels (hypoestrogenic) and has high levels of FSH and LH.
Each person normally has one pair of sex chromosomes in each cell. The Y chromosome is present in males, who have one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.
The Y chromosome is one of two sex chromosomes in therian mammals and other organisms. Along with the X chromosome, it is part of the XY sex-determination system, in which the Y is the sex-determining because it is the presence or absence of Y chromosome that determines the male or female sex of offspring produced in sexual reproduction.
In mammals, the Y chromosome contains the SRY gene, which triggers development of male gonads. The Y chromosome is passed only from male parents to male offspring.
Y makes all the difference.
