Embryonically, we ALL start out as females and then, for approximately half (this is an interesting discussion for another day), certain hormones go to work and anatomically, physiologically, and hormonally theoretically change the embryo to male gender.
However, there are obviously variabilities in expressivity and it would be nearly impossible for this process to be without variabilities and multiplicities of personality.
For sake of clarity if youre talking to these anti-trans idjits, change all three and four syllable words to simpler language.

Ultimately, of course, it does not matter what hormones did what when. At least it is way down below the right of humans to be simply human first and to be able to choose what kind of human they are, let it harm none.
