The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently support the claim that hormonal fluctuations and sex hormones play a key role in the pathogenesis and progression of rheumatoid arthritis. Papers [1], [2], [4], [5], [7], and [8] all link sex hormones, endocrine variations, and life-stage hormonal shifts (such as pregnancy and menopause) to immune dysregulation and the severity or progression of RA. There are no papers refuting the claim.
