It's not offensive, it's just medically inaccurate. We're not changing our sex, we're changing our gender.

I suppose it could be offensive in that it misrepresents trans people's understanding of what hormones do, but it's really not a huge deal if I'm being honest. It does also have an air of old-timey gender politics, though, which does always come with a foul taste...
