Administration of estrogen to a person complaining of gender depravation anxiety or gender issues is an extremely common method and used as a test by many therapists and doctors

If the person settles, feels normal or happier then estrogen use is usually continued or advised

I found something else to support this too:

"It is also known that the administration of cross sex hormones MUST be maintained to sustain the anxiolytic effect. It is not unusual for some patients, feeling better after starting hormones, to believe they are cured and no longer need to continue the medication. Unfortunately what they experience is a quick return of their gender dysphoria. If there is any physical test to determine who should seriously consider partial or full transition, taking cross sex hormones is it. "
