It is not like he ever can have "female hips", because they are based on skeletal structure and not on hormones. You know, on the fact that pelvis and angle of leg bones are just different. And because bone structure is different. You know, how archeologists can with 99% accuracy say that was male or female skeleton.

Isn't skeletal structure partly influenced by hormones? Girls develop hips in puberty.

Only "size" of them. Curve is always there because of skeletal structure, male skeleton have bones to go more narrower (my English is so bad today, heh) and muscles to go straight down, while female skeleton have an angle and pelvis is wider, but shorter, and muscles are curving around, and not going just at straight line: https://i.imgur.com/ljINpd7.png

Yeah, and this is one of reasons why men are faster at running. Even having no testosteron and taking estrogen will not change basic body structure (I randomly was reminded about transwomen in sports). And it affects gait as well, so it is easy to say from behind where is man and where is woman, regardles of their looks.

Many of you may have seen that video which shows how easy it is to tell male and female movements apart. I recall that you only see the little points of light the video attaches to all the joints of drawn male and female body shapes. When they move, all you see against everything being dark is those little twinkling lights moving, and it is enough to tell which body is supposed to be male and which female.

I don't know how to turn off that skill which appears to be required now.
