You'll aromatize that testosterone into estrogen and you'll start getting opposite effects, so it's a murky space, it's not straightforward.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

which sits further Upstream to the production of testosterone and estrogen right and so fortunately the what's left in the vagina is able to you know plug that guy in and get it to produce both testosterone and estrad which testosterone is the immediate precursor we have to aromatize it right to make estradi in females as well
the androgens that are produced by the latex cell testosterone can undergo what's called aromatization which is the process by which they are turned into estrogens using a specific enzymes that um we'll sort of not get into at the moment but um an obvious byproduct of testosterone creation is the co-creation of estradiol
But in women the main function of testosterone still overlaps with males but intrainatal it is more to facilitate as a substrate of estrogen production. So getting that sufficient amount of aromatization into uh uh estradi but also the conversion into estrone which then turns into estradile as well to facilitate all of the uh female fertility facilitated processes.
