Yes, in fact I exploit this feedback loop mechanic to keep my testosterone production at female levels as a transwoman. It isn't just a lot of testosterone, but high levels of total sex hormones will cause production to decrease. So I simply make sure my E2 levels are high enough to keep result in my T levels exactly where I want them (cis female range). I keep my T production (and thus levels) low 24/7 so long term there would be testicular atrophy issues that I don't care about, but guys would. As long as your doctor and you understand what is going on you can usually obtain what you want and avoid what you don't.
My brain clearly runs on e2 and not T and having the right amount of e2 present has been life changing as far as my mood is concerned so for guys that run on T, but have low T levels I absolutely get how much of an improvement it could be once they raise their T levels.
