Well it comes as no surprise that you will have the sex drive more like a woman than a raging horny man... So that should feel more like a woman?
If you're on estrogen and maybe even testosterone blockers, then your sex drive will calm down and it won't be how it was when you were a man.
I presume you're under the care of a gender clinic and both the Counsellor and Endocrinologist (hormones doctor) are helping you through the process with information and advice? |

Well that's how it is, I'm afraid. This is also why you need to be on your hormone regime for a couple of years before they would talk about your virgina-plasty as this removes your testes (balls) which produces testosterone and you will not have the male sex drive.
You need to review and consider your options carefully. Looking at your profile, you have an amazing dress sense. So I guess maybe you should talk to your counsellor about not going through any treatment (hormones, surgery etc) but still dress and enjoy sex as you are currently?
Society is slowly becoming less critical of a diverse gender expression, so it's ok to look different, be trans but you don't need to "medicalise" your journey. |

"Yes but this is my 1st play holiday they did say my body will go through changes but did not think I would feel like a nun "
Women have really variable sex drives, but I suspect the average woman has a lower sex drive than the average man, just based on behaviour. Some of that may be hormonal. |

Thanks for the support but I've known from a young years that I'm in the wrong body and as you say society is only just accepting me and others that feel the same this is a life change that I have thought long and hard about for years it's only my 1st month and many difficult changing years to come |

Your point is super relevant to OP's experience.
I know cis women have to manage the monthly hormonal cycles and alongside issues like the menopause, will mean you know how these changes feel, eg on the labido.
However, trans women like myself have also experienced the effects of changing estrogen and testosterone levels.
Sex to me is much more a social, convivial, flirty thing than the physical. Even before treatment, I've never really understood the "quicky" cum-n-go sex that men keep insisting they need / want. That's the testosterone talking...?
Most cis men's testosterone just makes them feel horny, suuuuper horny, or crazy stupid horny. |

It's my pleasure, hun.
It's important to discuss these things, and good on a forum because you'll get a diverse range of views and input.
What's the difference between TG (Trans-Gender) and TS (Trans-Sexual)? These two terms are used interchangeably but to me, my Gender has always been female. You sounds like you are too. But I've made the medicalised Sex transition so I describe myself as TS. I've never "trans" any Gender, always female, always will be.
The farther away I am from my full time transition, the more I'm aware it's doesn't need to be a medical thing. The dysphoria can be managed psychologically (talk therapy) and socially (trans support groups). The answer is not always physiological (hormones, surgery).
I do fear the outcome of the Cass Review (more depression, dysphoria, suicide) however, she has a point, we must be careful not to over medicalised our children. |
