      I think so…I think what happens is when we are in the womb I think all people start out as female because of our chromosomes…so we all have nipples..but the hormones testosterone and oestrogen which are linked to the y and x chromosomes (male is y and is linked to testosterone and female is x and linked to oestrogen) …cause our bodies to either develop to make us either males or females.

      I’m not sure about this. I think that every foetus starts out as a girl but i’m not 100% certain. Sorry i can’t be more helpful 🙂
