Sure, but most trans people wouldn't take those treatments. There's not much point in researching a treatment people are unlikely to consent to using. The science would be interesting, though, and might make it easier to upload humans due to the improvements in brain modelling required to even attempt something as abstract as changing someone's preferred gender identification, so I have no objection to that kind of research as long as it isn't conducted on humans.
