Clitoromegaly for idiots.
Clitoromegaly (or macroclitoris[1]) is an abnormal enlargement of the clitoris that is mostly congenital; it is otherwise acquired through deliberately induced clitoral enlargement e.g. body modification by use of anabolic steroids, including testosterone.[2][3][4][5] It can happen as part of a gender transition. It is not the same as normal enlargement of the clitoris seen during sexual arousal.
Female bodybuilders and athletes who use androgens, primarily to enhance muscular growth, strength and appearance, may also experience clearly evident enlargement of the clitoris and increases in libido.[13][14] Women who use testosterone for therapeutic reasons (treating low libido, averting osteoporosis, as part of an anti-depressant regimen, etc.) may experience some enlargement of the clitoris, although the dosages warranted for these conditions are much lower.

Before finding this information, I had no idea what Clitoromegaly even was. Dont get me wrong. I knew they existed. I just had no idea there was a word for it.
