Is muscle development a secondary sex characteristic?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
NO: Exogenous testosterone may enhance muscle development. However, women do develop muscles by training. No one considers muscle development a secondary sex characteristic.

Yes, but: In males 'yes, ' much less so in females. Muscle growth is a secondary sex characteristic but not one used to track normal development.
