@AMATERA99128775 @Slatzism @solanastanSZA @isaperezxx Yes, regardless of the origin of the syndrome or specific mutation, higher than average female testosterone production will render “symptoms” such as higher stature and increased muscle mass. It’s no different for swyer

[Maria José Polania Puentes @mariajpol]

@AMATERA99128775 @Slatzism @solanastanSZA @isaperezxx Yeah, testosterone levels impact greatly, in this case benefiting muscle mass and fiber recruitment. So yes, stronger with a biological advantage
