Asexual trans boys starting testosterone are absolutely amazing. Dealing with increased sex drive can cause lots of confusion and if the ace label doesnāt fit you anymore you get to explore a new emerging part of your identity. Ace trans boys deserve all the love and support
The way this was prophetic. I was making posts about going on testosterone before I even knew I was trans. Iām not actually that much more horny than before starting hrt but Iām much more accepting of myself and the fact that my sex drive isnāt going to just go away. So actually, itās nice to look back and see me tell myself that this is just a new facet of my identity that just doesnāt fit my old labels anymore.
All of this is a long way of saying that Iām not asexual anymore. I havenāt fit that label for a while, and going on testosterone has helped solidify the decision to stop calling myself ace. I donāt think I experience sexual attraction the same way that other people do, but I also donāt think I lack attraction. Itās hard to describe what I feel but it doesnāt bother me. Anyway, this was just an update on where Iām at and finally accepting something Iāve been scared to say for a while.
