Maybe people from the fool's race don't have breasts, or very noticable breasts. And I think Fitz would have been too focused on trying to get the fool out to actually notice anything at the time.

Maybe he didn't care
again, he was probably too busy trying to heal everything at once to notice anything else. I mean, he couldn't help but notice things like that
afterwards once he knows the fool is recovering, but i think that maybe now he's admitted to himself that he does love the Fool, gender is not that important to him

Amber is described as a very manly woman, but in the Tawny Man trilogy, he's described as a very feminine man... maybe women from the Fool's race don't have such features. Maybe they give birth to tiny-weeny babies, so they dont need such wide hips, and perhaps they dont have very prominent breasts, or maybe they 'grow' breasts if they get pregnant or something.
heck i dont know, but they is just some of my ideas.
I kinda like the idea of the Fool being man and woman (hermaphrodite, right?), dont know why hehe
