I think (though I have low confidence in it here) that he is complimenting her rippling muscles, which isn’t necessarily what the peasant sees, but what the peasants thinks is appropriate for someone in armor.
Fuck If I know what ‘her “male faileth”’ is supposed to mean, though.
Male fail is when a trans woman is attempting to “boy mode” (dress masculine as to either stay in the closet in a situation or just generally not deal with being read as trans in that context) and is still read as female. It’s a sign that the hormones have really been doing their thing.
And yeah he basically said nice tits to her
I started young, but I’m not passable due to how fucking short my hair is. smh
And no growing it out hasn’t worked
Failed male, aka femboy or trans female
This definition is both incorrect and transphobic.
See my comment here for the actual meaning: lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/32775622/16723079

“Male fail” is a slang term from the trans community (at least online, not sure how widespread it is in general). It refers to when a trans woman is trying to fly under the radar by presenting as male (also known as boy-moding), but for whatever reason does not manage to pass as one and is recognized as female. Sometimes due to mannerisms, sometimes because their HRT has progressed too far, etc. This is usually seen as a good thing, since it is gender-affirming to not be seen as your assigned gender, but can also be dangerous if it leads to transphobic abuse.
In this case, the implication is that the local “Lord” has been collecting pregnant mare urine to extract feminizing hormones for ye olde HRT, and is embarrassed and happy that it is apparently working, since the peasant saw her as a lady.
