Not the first time I read from a transman who believed to be a lesbian and then started to be into dudes after transitioning. Might be they didn't want to be with dudes as females as they didn't like the hetero dynamic?

This is very common trend that I have talked about before here, basically "ex-lesbians" dont have any dating pool since normal women won't date them then they turn to men.. also many of them say hrt made them attracted to males, not sure how sexual orientation just changes but oh well.. the reverse isnt true tho, gays who transition still remain gays in permadrag, maybe its a side-effect of testosterone

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...
