I'm, at a hair over 5'7", the tallest person in my biofamily My older biobrother is significantly shorter than me, like 5'4 or 5'3" easily Always thought my much more variegated/ nutritious diet was why I was so much taller But now I think it might have just been my PAIS

My vague understanding of the topic is that T, by itself, actually stunts growth for the reasons Penelope mentioned The reason "male puberty" makes you taller overall is multiple switches being flipped, including one that releases more total HGH, which swamps the effect of T

My sense is that this process is linked to why stereotypically boys start their pubescent growth spurts later than girls (the stereotypical eighth grade dance where the girls are all six inches taller than the boys)
