My point is that transwomen who don’t produce oestrogen but supplement it, have it in their blood. I would expect a trans women who takes hormones to be similarly affected as a cis woman.
Agreed. And a trans man who doesn’t take hormone would also be affected similarly. I think saying man/woman or male/female is a bit inaccurate in this context because of that (also because not everyone means the same thing when they say male/female; some refer to a biological reality, so having certain genitalia, and some give it the same meaning as man and woman, so a gender identity). I prefer to use a term that is both accurate and unambiguous (+ that encompasses the other realities I mentioned in my former comment, like intersex people and such), even if that means a lengthier sentence.
Ok I understand. So maybe I should switch for another word than produce? Just as plain as “people who have more estrogen than testosterone in their blood”, or something of the likes?

The problem is that it’s not accurate here as while a trans man has the hormones in their blood they don’t produce them (or at least not all of them).

Yes, I think that would match the intended meaning.
