Did you find information about them growing taller? From what I know about puberty and child growth, that would be accurate, because the growth spurt associated with puberty would occur later.

Post growth spurt, growth in stature slows down. This means that children who enter puberty later have a longer growing period prior to the growth spurt, which adds height on top of their existing height. Meanwhile, their peers who entered puberty at a younger age are already done growing. Good news for transboys who want to be taller, less good for transgirls who might already feel dysphoric about their taller height.

But if you have a source, or any information to the contrary, I'd love to hear about it.
