Does the plant in question have hairs and pollen balls or only balls?

No a female seed will not turn male completely on its own but it can exhibit male traits along with female traits which would make it a hermaphrodite. It would take reversing using STS, CS or another chemical method to turn it completely male.
If you have seeds that you planted and you have a true male then the seed was a regular seed and turned out to be male. But since you haven't posted a picture of the plant in question nobody can tell you what you have.
You can also make a male plant exhibit only female traits through the use of chemicals.
Only balls
This plant that turn completely male has no hair or pistils only male balls and showing sex after my other plant show female signs I heard befor male balls appear before female pistils
So this was odd to me and my bredder swea they were feminized
Male one has a high sun burn stress in veg stage (I wanted to reflect sun and burn my plant so bad that plant stuned for days)so I suspect this was the cause but why completely male?!?

I’d probably get beans somewhere else.

"Feminized" seeds are made with pollen from a female plant. This means a female pollinated another female. There is no Y-chromosome, so the resulting seeds can only produce female plants.
If you got a male, then there was probably a male stray pollen which then pollinated a part of the plant at the breeder. That is the most likely explanation. You do not have to assume that the breeder was dishonest.
You should collect the pollen and maybe make some regular seeds with it. Pollen stores practically forever in the freezer.
Probably there are better sources for your seeds, however.
Who do you recommend for genetic sex testing?
