Yes this kind of therapy is very important for some people to live a life where their hormones align with their sex. I have a friend who is a cis woman but has enough testosterone being naturally produced that she has some thicker facial hair. And this is with hormone therapy. If she wasn't taking supplementary female hormones, she'd likely have more serious misalignment between primary and secondary sex characteristics. And I have to imagine it could cause problems with her monthly cycle if the hormones aren't balanced right
Testosterone therapy would be gender-affirming for most men. Huge numbers of women take progesterone. Many, many others hormones reinforce gender-related behaviours and physiology. No one thinks anything of it until someone is taking it for reasons they don’t approve of.
But we could manipulate all kinds of studies we don’t agree with because they happen to utilize “gender-affirming” hormones. We could do this to tens of thousands of studies. We would be technically correct, yet extremely wrong.
