Answer 1

Testosterone and Estrogen have more or less equivalent and supplementary effects. As long as you have at least one of these hormones in good supply, then you should avoid the worst of it.

For example, women do often experience these kinds of things when estrogen levels drop during menopause.

Men do have a small amount of estrogen, and women testosterone, and some people do seem to need little bit of testosterone can be needed to keep everything working, so there are women with very low Testosterone who seem to benefit from testosterone microdosing for example.
