There are a lot of very normal and quite frequent medical reasons why a person’s hormone levels can be mixed up and for a woman (afab) to have a high testosterone level or for a man (amab) a high estrogen level.
Women (XX) produce testosterone in mostly their ovaries and adrenal glands.
Men (XY) synthesize estrogen in the Leydig cells and the germ cells in their testis.
