The whole “testosterone made me want dick” phenomenon is so weird.

Yeah that really makes no sense to me. The only mechanism I could see that happening through, logically, is:

  1. woman is unaware of, denies, or downplays her interest in men/dick

  2. woman starts on testosterone

  3. testosterone heightens sexual arousal

  4. woman is suddenly more aware of her sexual arousal and what she actually wants-- which is dick

  5. "testosterone made me want dick!" when the picture is more complicated than that.

I kind of wonder, if just dosing testosterone changed sexual orientation, then homophobes probably would've been doing that to gay/bisexual women for ages already...

It's really bizarre. But ALL THIS reminds me that .. heterosexuality is just a law of the universe and Nature, for understandable reasons. The continuation of the species. And for we gay/lesbian people, that can be OPPRESSIVE.

What is honestly true and fucking HEROIC about gay and lesbian people is that we FIGHT immense societal pressure our whole lives, we face real discrimination historically and still today, , we DEFY Nature, we are HUMANS who have MASTERY over Nature. We aren't animals beholden to basic Nature, we transcend that and because it's hard we have to fight and ASSERT that. Constantly.

So when the FTMs and the MTFs all obey the basic heterosexual rules of Nature and the universe, being really BASIC and LAZY, they're stealing the valor of every gay and lesbian person who has to struggle and FIGHT to be themselves, to be above nature as much as they can, to DEFY social norms and reproductive urges. These people are HETEROSEXUALS with blue hair and a fear of being boring and that's not the same fucking thing at all. You're "queer"? No, you're a basic bitch who wants to be different, and that goes for the dudes too.

They're lying lol

MtFs also pull this shit, be HSTS who lost all of their dating prospects after transitioning or AGPs who women don't want to even look at.

I don't doubt these FtMs are t4t/r4chaser and don't want to admit it.
