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 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)

I.e. that rush of hormones leads to the bones hardening and getting denser under the effects of sex hormones, which is a "finishing" process that makes it difficult for your bones to ever grow any longer after it's done
