Results? Without the [hormones] needed for adulthood, their voices remained [sopranos] and [<a href="/topic/196024/altos">altos</a>] while their [chests] and [lungs] matured regularly, their voices combined [male] [power] with [female] [beauty]. Now they were able to successfully pull off female roles onstage.<br />
Today, this practice is illegal.</p>
