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?

    My (30m) SO (29f) started liking girls a lot more after starting E. We have found ways to enjoy it. She isn’t turned off to men entirely, she just has a strong preference that wasn’t there before. Communication and care will go a long way with making you both happy, and you will be a different person, mentally, when Estrogen or Testosterone start making some descissions in your brain that you didn’t realize the previous dominant hormone was making before.

      Did she go from hetro leaning bi to lesbian leaning bi or straight to lesbian? Because the way I feel now, i genuinely can’t picture a universe in which I find men attractive. And NGL, I’m looking forward to a lot of hot lesbian sex.
