My partner is concerned that I’m going to suddenly start being attracted to men once I start on the trans-mission fluid. Apparently she keeps reading Reddit posts about people who’s sexual orientation changes after they start hormones. How common is this? I can’t personally think of a word in which I would be attracted to men. Honestly it kinda crosses me out. I did go through a period where I decided to see if I was bisexual and slept with a couple of dudes, but I found the experience really off-putting. Have any of you ladies experienced a switch in sexual orientation? If so, from what to what?
It’s not quite as simple as “It’s repression”. That’s no more universally true than “hormones did it”
And that’s fair/accurate to say, overly simplifying this conversation doesn’t work. I normally wouldn’t have but honestly running it up against panic due to an unknown amount of reddit anecdotes, I wasn’t inclined to dig into it.
yeah, I wasn’t repressing my sexual attraction to men before estrogen but never felt attraction to men anyway; I was open to it before and even considered myself technically bisexual, but it took estrogen to actually finally experience attraction
