Some women have broad shoulders, especially if they do sport like swimming. Let's avoid falling into the TRAs stereotypes.

Actually I think most of them have "broad" shoulders. There seems to be this idea that women's hips should be wider than their shoulders, when realistically most don't even have them at equal width.

Women can have muscular shoulders, but the width doesn't increase.

Let's avoid falling into the TRAs stereotypes.

Adult female gymnasts can have large deltoids, and developed and angular trapezious muscles from neck to shoulder

Regular exercise can never expand the width and span of the bones in a woman's shoulders, but male puberty does. The bone structure defines the shoulder width.

The male bone growth is irreversible.

Sometimes women can have naturally broad shoulders down to the bones. But in their case the male version would be extra-broad.

Do you have any examples?

Unfortunately I don't pay close attention to celebrities. I have some irl examples, but I'm not willing to breach their privacy for the sake of this argument.

You can't think of historical or public examples, but you know some in real life?

That's not very convincing.

I don't look at pop culture all day.

That's a pretty weak excuse for someone who's regularly on this site.

You can't support your argument, because "pop culture all day".

I also don't look at trans selfies all day. And when I do see pictures of people I'm not focused on how broad their shoulders are.
