Trans woman here. Was going to say this, but you nailed it.

Just going to confirm right now any effect this has is nowhere close to the kind of estrogen changes that actual hormone therapy provides.

Perhaps not but already I'm wondering if it could enhance the effect of conventional HRT for transgender patients. Certainly something worth further investigation.
