I think HRT for gender transition is usually (supposed to be) given on an informed consent basis, where you're told about the uncertainties and whatnot.
(Of course, the activists are pushing really aggressively to have HRT handed out like candy and even home brew hormones and ship it to children... But that's another topic.)
Based on that you could argue that it's normal that you have to test it on mice. It's only ethical to use on humans if they consent to it, and only a trans person would consent to HRT.
