This is simply not the case. Hormone treatment does alter normal ranges for some measures (although these should still be considered in relation to the person's sex, ie a male taking oestrogen or a female testosterone). But there are also many other considerations.

That is not what it says at all. The review is about data collection and ensuring that appropriate and accurate data is collected. Without that data nothing about the lives of trans people in relation to their sex can be known.
