This study found that hormone therapy does decrease muscle mass in M-F, but they still end up with mean muscle mass significantly higher than in cis women.

This one said there's not enough research done to come to a conclusion.
What's really interesting is that I got to these from the resources section of the NCAA policy statement, which requires M-F to be on hormoe therapy for one year to compete as women.

They allow it, but so far I haven't found a study, even in their own references (although I haven't checked all the links yet), that says there's no advantage.
