First of all, both genders produce both estrogen and testosterone. They are not exclusive to either gender. What is different is the proportion to each other and the overall amount of each hormone. That is what creates the secondary sexual characteristics. So anyone with higher levels of testosterone will grow more hair, have a deeper voice, have a higher sex drive, build more muscle, etc. Conversely, anyone with a higher amount of estrogen in their body will develop breasts (and increase the chance of breast cancer), affect the distribution of fat on the body, and the like. Hormones can't change certain things however. For example, high doses of testosterone in a woman can make her facial structure more masculine because it builds bone. Higher doses of estrogen in a man can't slim his facial bone structure or change the adam's apple because it is already 'built'. Also, high doses of testosterone in a woman can change her genital features, enlarging her clitoris. High doses of estrogen in a man, I have heard, can decrease the sex drive.

If you look at female body builders ( muscular) you'll have your first answer. They develop into like man figures.
Second question is as men became wanting to be women, they take estrogen to get softer curvy figures. This with implants and its difficult to tell original woman from a changed man into woman

Both would develop secondary sex characteristics of the opposite gender.
The female would develop facial hair, more defined muscles, her breasts would shrink, and her clitoris may enlarge.
A male would develop breasts, his penis would shrink, and he would have less muscle definition.
