interjection,

if I knew of a female who was qualified to deal with those shailos, I would feel way more comfortable than going to a man.

I think you definitely have a valid point, and this is what I was thinking when I wrote:

if there was a situation impacting mitzah observance in the Torah community, and some feel that a group of women who are certified to answer specific shailos would increase the ability of the community to observe the mitzvos

I don’t see how there would be a problem with a woman trained in these halachos answering shailos for other women, and such a system may have a lot of benefit for the mitzvah of taharas hamishpacha. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the aim of groups such as YCT.
