So what makes the breasts tissue of a man with “woman gender identity” different to a man who doesn’t?

Why would excess estrogen cause lobular growth in men with gender identity and regular gyno in men without it?

identity doesn't make breast tissue different, hormones do...men with gyno have a different hormonal situation than trans women, it's not just estrogen it's also the amount of it and type and T level etc. As the study explains, breast development caused by exogenous estrogen for transitioning mtf is distinct from gyno.

Lobular growth seems to be hit or miss. I know other trans women who have not had that much development. Others with more than me. It's frustrating that we don't know more

Good question. Maybe it's the head tilt, the pronouns insisted upon, or way the way the breast tissue bounces when going up and down stairs. TW frequently say on social media that the bouncing of their breast tissue makes them ecstatic with gender euphoria, but bog standard guys with gynecomastia are far less thrilled by all the jiggling their own breast tissue does.

Then again, the explanation could also be that the claims being made here are simply not true.

Since male breast tissue is rudimentary, it usually does not differentiate and undergo lobule formation unless exposed to increased concentrations of endogenous or exogenous estrogen.
