  1. Could be androgyn insensitivity syndrome.  Here is one link, but there is a lot more information about intersex people and intersex conditions on the Internet, including at a number of accessible (readable) medical sites:

    I have read stories on the internet of intersex men who thought they were females until they develop a hernia condition in late 40s and when the doctors operate they end up finding and removing undescended testicles instead.  I think this may mean that the testicles grow larger during the 40s because of a drop-off in estrogen production (male or female, we all have estrogen) just as female estrogen production drops in the 40s. I do not know if that is the reason, but am guessing.


  2. The first answerer gave an awesome site, BTW.  I have a friend who's Turners Syndrome.  She took estrogen pills in her mid-twenties to develop b*****s.
