I thought that Julie probably did have serious estrogen treatment--and that was the reason for those pelvic bone notches that they thought at first were the result of childbirth.
Interesting idea. I don't know about "notches" as my understanding is that the signs that used to be taken as clear evidence of childbirth was actually the presence of pitting on the pelvic bones which often occurs during vaginal delivery, but maybe these are just different terms for the same phenomenon. (Question - presumably this pitting does not occur during C-section, or does it?)
Either way, if oestrogen per se could cause this feature (not saying it could as I don't know but this is just for the sake of argument) could the ordinary level of the hormone in the average biologically female individual also cause it, or would it need to heightened levels (?) such that might be seen during trans hormone treatment?
