False.
While many secondary sexual characteristics (e.g., voice deepening, breast development) are driven by gonadal sex hormones (testosterone from testes, estrogens from ovaries), the growth of pubic and axillary hair is primarily initiated by adrenal androgens (adrenarche), not directly by the testes or ovaries.
