The obvious conclusion is that the trait wouldn't be on the Y chromosome.  I'll have to refresh my memory of exactly how hormones work, as I recall they simply activate cellular processes, or deactivate them.  If that's true, estrogen activates the "pre-programmed" aspect of the gene that controls breast development.  So the genetic link would be vaild.  I would think like most traits it would be a combination of both genes (both Xs or the X and Y) that would dicate breast size, so maybe its more reliable to average the females on both sides of your family.  But there again, YMMV, there are always exceptionall tall children born to two short parents, etc and vice versa.

So in the end there's no reliable predictor to actual breast development other then that it takes years.  Women (cis and trans) need to give it at least five years before they consider a BA or other procedures.  I would think too that post orchie or GRS, might affect breast development with the significant reduction in naturally occuring testosterone.

Oh snap! I'm reasonably sure I'm a chimera too.  Do you have the stripey effect on your skin?

Edit: The way I tend to look at boob size is the amount of glandular tissue.  I could gain a lot of weight if I wanted bigger boobs but that would ruin the rest of me.  I'm pretty much an A cup and that's mainly just the firm tissue.

I did when i was younger they went away with time my doctor also says its why i have always been supper sensitive but who knows  i do also have a random foot thing which has only happened in females in my family for ever which is odd but i like it 

Yes my metabolism went through the roof 2 months in. 4 months in it has kind of settled and I've gained weight ;_;. BUT, my chest is really showing now. I just wish they were shaped right. I hear it takes time for breasts to 'round out'.
