Also I say “taller than expected” but I’m not sure if that is true for both AMAB and AFAB people.
The paper is talking about an AFAB non-binary person who would otherwise resume female puberty, I’m not entirely sure how testosterone affects height but it would make sense to me that forever-puberty-blockers would give a height in the middle between the post-female-puberty height and the post-male-puberty height.
I thnk it's true for people who were AMAB as well. Men castrated before completing puberty were often very tall, as it takes longer for the skeletal growth plates to set into place.
