    My orientation didn't exactly change but the way it expressed itself did if that makes sense? Always been pan but the way I relate to other genders when I started transitioning felt a lot different. From what I've seen and read, libido changes in either direction towards ace-heart or panting are both totally normal, as is a change in orientation.

    anecdotally (slightly thirsty)

    I'd always been attracted to some men but never found masc guys attractive until transitioning and then at some point into starting hrt I noticed at the gym my brain was going crush for burly dudes and thought they smelled good??

      My libido is basically zero and nothing has changed on that front, but after realizing that I'm not aromantic, I just don't want to date as a guy, I was watching a movie with a scene of romantic intimacy, and it clicked in my brain. "OH! that's why people bang! Emotional intimacy!" Which is something I knew conceptually, but that was the first time I actually understood. And for the first time ever I thought "you know what that could actually be kinda nice."

      I'm so curious what is gonna happen if/when I get my ass on hrt.

        sexual, not explicit but just general libido stuff

        Prior to starting hrt, my libido was like an annoying physical chore I just had to occasionally deal with, like being busy and realizing you haven't eaten and then getting food becomes a chore

        Afterwards I've actually been able to enjoy it sometimes, being more in tune with your body really allows you to actually be sensual and connect with a partner more

        (and hrt added some new erogenous areas lea-blush )
