Those are different things, though. Hormones would be closer to vitamins, the body uses them if they’re present without necessarily causing harm to the body. The body produced hormones, but, chemically, if the hormones are made or introduced, chemically, they’re the same. Ethanol is a poison that works by affecting the brain by attaching to GABA receptors, so it is a threat to the body.
That’s all science though. Wolverine’s healing ability is basically magic. I mean, it regrows his hair to a certain length in a certain style too.
The backstory for his character is that his healing factor not only “heals” him, but basically restores him to the way he previously was whenever there’s a change to his body.
The healing factor would attack the foreign hormones. Wolverine can’t get drunk either because his body heals too quickly.

I mean, yeah, that’s magic I guess. So if Wolverine got Scarlet Witch to give him HRT, he’d have titties in a jiffy.
She can alter reality, so she could just skip the HRT and re-imagine him as a woman, or an elephant, or a cloud of sentient dust.
lol I totally didn’t think about that, hmm…
Hormones are also processes by the liver for what its worth, specifically estradiol
it’s a fictional godlike character, what happens is what best suits the story
All people contain both estrogen and testosterone. They just have them in different quantities. How would his body know that they’re not natural?
As I said, magic.
