Only those with testosterone develop a prominent Adam's Apple. Some females are especially sensitive to testosterone and since they have some of this hormone in their systems (through liver conversion or the adrenal gland) they can develop the Adam's Apple along with a degree of male-pattern baldness and hirsutism...these are unfortunate in a female.

Just as some females are unusually sensitive to testosterone some unlucky males are totally immune to its effects. This is called Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome. They generally develop very feminine characteristics.
