Sexual characteristics are triggered by hormones, but there are still vast differences between men and women - i.e. castrati are still very much men.

Not really. Their voices don't even change. They basically never go through puberty. That doesn't mean they don't mature in general, only that they don't mature sexually. Actually I would expect them to be more mature than someone whose body is focused entirely on sex.

Really don't know what you're on about - they're still men. We're not sexless until puberty and then all of a sudden we form into boys or girls once the right hormones kick in. Every cell in your body is coded XY or XX.

It happens before birth too. Though it doesn't really do anything but determine genitals, everything else happens during puberty.
