A Goodreads user asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

In Mirror Dance, the gang encounters a growth-accelerated clone who's been surgically altered to have large, exaggerated breasts and hips. Mark (or maybe it was Miles? I think Mark) reasons that the clone must be a sex-change case. Can you explain why he came to that conclusion? I don't understand the connection.

Lois McMaster Bujold
Speculation on Mark's part, but presumably he must have seen a few cases like that, plus variations, before when he was growing up in the clone creche.

Ta, L.

After an afternoon digging up weeds in the garden, I wished for a touch of sorcerous chaos to zap them into dust. I think Pen and Des might make, erm, killer gardeners. Or might that create a too-well-ordered garden?
