sorry for the late response.

I don’t think simulating a cycle is “better” than using consistent dosages. I’m saying that the fact that the assumption seems to be consistent hrt levels is better for trans people than mimicking a natural cycle without actual tests on the subject feels backwards when this isn’t really how our bodies evolved to function.

it would be like if doctors recommened a dyabetic taking consistent insulin injections to mimic the “avarage” insulin levels of a “normal” person rather than after spikes in suger intack.

I may only have an AP level understanding of biolagy but I know that your hormone system as a whole is a regulatory system fundementally that is supposed to rise and fall in response to your bodies conditions not in spite it.

While i highly doubt perfect replication of the female cycle is ideal for trans-women (until maybe artifical womb transplants become a thing) i also think the assuption that consistent levels is dumb.

Also side note I had no intention of copying menapose even in cis women that is literally a sign of your body breaking down after you live longer than your expected to.
