ELI5: Why do exogenous anabolic steroids increase the clitoris in females but not the penis in males?

Title edit: increase the size of the clitoris\*\*\*

&#x200B;

It seems to be "common knowledge" that the penis and clitoris are somehow the "same tissue", and it is widely perpetuated that excessive testosterone abuse in females can cause growth in the clitoris.But it seems that people are saying this has no such effect on the male penis, why is that?

Males already have a normal amount of testosterone. Females don't. Bringing their testosterone levels up to normal male levels will bring on various effects. Some of them being a larger clitoris and more body and facial hair.

It's not perpetuated. Those are known effects.

Men with low T can and do get prescribed testosterone to optimize their levels and bring them to a normal range, and it can help with masculinizing the body. But the key is optimizing, not overstimulating. Because too high testosterone can cause the opposite effects.
