Hence the microdosing recommendation.
It’s the inverse of how postmenopausal women are given microdoses of testosterone to bring them into a normal range.
Of course if you gave them a male’s dose they’d grow a mustache and have clitoral growth, which is why you don’t do that. Just like you wouldn’t give yourself a woman’s dosage of E2.
If your body’s pathways aren’t producing a needed hormone, you introduce small amounts to bring levels into proper range.
