I 2nd another lady's comment here. I'm a biological woman and I struggle with my own hormones. I feel a sex drive only a few days out of the month and it's like clock work with my period. I know estrogen is providing you benefits but like most things we put in our bodies these days, its probably causing long term problems too.
Yeah my sex drive is so low sometimes. I was sexually dead after I gave birth, the healing of that took seriously like a year. Then being tired, stressed, any kind of trauma, hormones not great.. recipe for libido flop. Really depends on your partner too. My partner can definitely get me in the mood even if I feel nothing that day haha. But if he's tired then we're both just literally Netflix and chill lol so many things affect sex drive. Then menopause, yaaay.
shapeshifter said this as well. Gotta unironically take some testosterone. Ppl forget women have testosterone as well as that is the motivation hormone.
I LOVE your honesty. Im pre op ts and will stay that way. I dont use testo blockers as I am very sensitive to the effects and even low dose of spironolactone and low dose of estrogen WILL kill my sexdrive. It feels horrible, like 80 years old nun in monastery. It mean also my face look more masculine, because of testo but I rather keep it that way to feel real. I fought with depression for decades. Even had 12 x electric shocks to my brain. I hope you get your hormones sorted asap. !
Every female has some testosterone levels in their bodys of course without any your not going to have any sex drive they also produce the hormones progesterone as well
I am a 70-year-old woman with a very good sex drive. Do you want to be a woman? Stop equating low sex drive with being an OLD woman. Unless you are planning to only live until the pretty wears off?
As a biological born female trying to get hormones just right is a nightmare. I am in menopause and it has taken so much trial and error to get them just right. I get the pellets with estrogen and testosterone. It has been frustrating.
@@Socialmediaruinedsocietyy Every 4 months. It has helped with fatigue and my hot flashes. I am a cis-gender woman so getting the right amount of testosterone was/is important. Too much is as difficult as to little.
I lost my sex drive ever since around 1 year of taking hormones. I feel the same way that you feel. At this point, I don't even know if I will ever get any surgeries due to a blood condition that may be caused by the hormones. All I am doing is keeping busy but I don't ever think of sex at this point.
Love you channel and honesty Lee. As a type 1 Juvenile Diabetic when I hit a certain age a went through the exact same thing as yourself. I went to my Endocrinologist and Primary Physician who couldn't figure it out. So I got sent to a Urologist who did some blood work, hormone levels were fine so he prescribed me Cialis thinking it was ED, which I knew it wasn't. Finally one day while at the pharmacy I was talking with my pharmacist who knew exactly what I was talking about. He' said no that's your libido, your sex drive. I said exactly. He recommended a supplement that other diabetic patients were taking called Desire-X by Mason. Wah Lah crisis finally everted. Haven't had any issues since taking the supplement. Not sure if supplements are an option for you, but I wanted to throw my two cents in the pot hoping it helps you out. Definitely feel your pain - Ken
I think when you transition the nature of your sex drive and needs change. They become more typically female for MtoF people. As I transition I find my fantasies have changed and what excites me is different. I want sex, but not nearly as often. It also is more personal and connecting with a partner is so much more arousing. It takes longer to get me in the mood, but with help from a partner or romantic porn it happens. My orgasms are different. Not nearly as intense, but in a way more satisfying. I think with the right partner they would be tremendous and better than before. I think the bottom line is to allow yourself to accept your body has changed and the way you experience sex very well may also. You almost have to find a new spot to make it happen. There are hormonal ways to help this happen. I hear a little testosterone can help. Mine is very low, but not zero. I think once an MtoF person is on hormones they need to explore new sexual feelings and take time to find ways to get in touch with them. The important thing is not to freak out because it is not like it was before. Try listening to cis-woman and how they feel when the have fulfilling sex lives with someone they love. For most transitioners, I would say the new place they find makes their sex lives more fulfilling, though it takes time.
When I was a younger woman (20s and 30s) I had a raging libido, especially around ovulation, and am still sexually responsive, though not quite as much so. Women may on average be less sexually “driven” than men, but we aren’t eunuchs.
This sounds like how women in menopause are treated. At least in Australia. I've tried two GPs, one who specialises in menopause, and they won't give me any help. I say this because what you're describing from a sex drive perspective is very common in menopausal women. I got laughed at when I asked for Testosterone gel. There's no help.
Ok but there's a big difference in the natural decrease in sex drive that women experience during menopause and the unnatural decrease in sex drive that this young person is experiencing. There's no comparison between the two.
Ive just watched the video you made called: "Ive decided to have srs"...you were researching surveons. You mentioned that the doctors had no galleries on tbeir webdites showing previous work! Im thinking they have no successful work to advertise? What cosmetic surgery isnt marketed that way? Visually!. It all sounds shady.
At least for me, sex is more than arousal. There is the touch, sweet talk and intimacy that are also important. HRT does kill the stimulation, but its a trade off I can live with.
Have you had full SRS though? That is the extra killer it seems… From what I’ve heard from other trans women: When a trans woman has been on HRT for years and has had SRS, it’s a common occurrence for them to lose all sex drive like Lee. They need to get an endocrinologist. Usually the endocrinologist will prescribe them a small dose of testosterone to help their sex drive.
No SRS. Particularly since it has leaked out that it's not all Skiddles and ponies. But if I did, I don't need a V jay jay because I am not into guys. So zero depth is still on the table @@stuff1784
The most important thing to do is be honest and upfront. Your not alone. You will find others who have the same issues as you. Patience here is required.
Imagine those who underwent cysectomy to get rid of bladder cancer... Both men and women have huge trouble with sex. For men prostate is removed and in 80% of cases the erectile nerve damaged. For women, uterus and ovaries are removed. Less help in those cases...
They should have discussed this issue extensively with you prior to surgery. I don’t support this surgery for anyone under 40, who also understands that due to surgical complications, nerve damage, and removal of sex hormones they may never enjoy sex again.
I’ve been on hormones for about 5 years. To put it simple I don’t have one either, at least most of the time. And I have a boyfriend!!!!!!!🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️, it’s so annoying, I really have to be in the mood to really want to do anything. And when I am in the mood which is not often at all, the sex drive literally only last about 5 minutes. I actually hate it. But I’m not complaining too much, because I feel and look how I want.
Interesting to see some self awareness creeping through here. I am sorry what has happened to you and I see you as a victim of this ideology but you did choose to cut off your most important sexual and endocrine organ. I don't see how this pathway of suffering and constant medicalization could ever be easier than psychological strategies to alleviate issues with maleness...
I agree 💯 percent she or he only has themselves to blame plus there's definitely not enough research been done on transgender peoples health and wellness she's only young and can possibly look forward to suffering from osteoporosis which many females get as they age brittle bone's
that s one of the loosing, Just to be on hormones and testosterone blocker for 6 years my sex drive went from 100% to 0 😱🥵, and after cutting your things out the sex drive is gone for ever
So, after all you've gone through to surgically have female anatomy, do you regret transitioning? It seems like you have lost so much....without knowing beforehand how things would turn out for you. I'm seriously curious if you still feel like transing was the right thing for you and overall, are you satisfied or unsatisfied bc of your transition?
@@Kira-zm7vy Ok, but it seems like such a high risk. And it seems like she has many regrets, that is why I asked her the question. But thanks for your reply.
It's been known for hundreds of years that transition doesn't work. All you have to do is look in old books. The doctors know this, but they are silent and that is criminal.
I am a woman and I have never really had a sex drive, only way to even have orgasm is from the outside stimulation not inside. When I was on birth control I was never horny and always dry and super emotional. Some women have a high sex drive, but most of us don't and feel like sex is a chore because we get nothing out of it but we know we have to do it or be cheated on. My husband is taking testosterone and now he wants it more and I am mad about it. For some reason it's always been hard for me to have a orgasm from sex. I would rather have no sex drive than an over active one. Sex is a chore to most women.
Lee, I hope you find a handle to dealings with all these issues . The fact you are talking about these things is a positive thing and will help so many others I am sure ; but it will help you too I am sure to access the level of help you need . Bless you ! Ditch the drugs if you can , or they will cause you to get depressed and that is the last thing you need . Lee, you are so strong that you can do this and find out what can make you all girlie that you scream with come and take me . Menopause is a bitch . But on the plus side with a loving partner who knows how yo respond , your sex life can return . You do not have menopause, but you are living like you are . It also affects young women of your age too. I am not medically trained , but I know how to talk to a doctor and help them understand what is happening to me. If you are nice and being helpful to your doctor it goes a long way . I’m sure you are doing this. Lee, you remain in our thoughts and prayers , along with others struggling to find themselves and in a world that doesn’t understand them . You are not alone girl !
Girl get on injectable estrogen you wont regret it. I had the same issues with estrogen pills. My estrogen was always low and i felt horrible. When i switched to shots it was night and day. If you can't do injections you can do implants of estrogen or in the worst case gel applied to an area that has thin skin like armpits to absorb as much estradiol as possible.
So I watched the video out of curiosity. And one thing I don't get, and it's completely unrelated to the whole transition issue, etc. So I completely don't understand what you mean by not having the sex drive makes the world seem two dimensional (I do understand the metaphor, just don't understand how). For me, if I don't have sex drive, then I don't. I simply don't feel it so I don't miss it either. I don't have that longing in me if I don't feel it physically, so I don't miss it. I understand if one feels arousal physically but can't release it, then it's frustrating, but from what you say you don't feel but you miss it? This I don't understand.🤷♀️ It's like saying, you're not hungry, but you miss being hungry and eating? If I'm hungry, I eat, but if I'm not, then not. And if I'm not hungry, I don't wish that I would become hungry just in order to eat more again, it seems somewhat bizarre. If anything, wouldn't taking a drive away, sex drive in this case, give you more clarity? It does in my case. But from what your saying you don't have a physical drive, but still have some psychological longing instead? (Maybe I find hard to understand, I need to add, as a biological woman it's natural to have cycles of fluctuating physical drive, so it's a normal state to have times when it just isn't there, and to me, it never ever made the world seem less interesting or feel gray or tasteless or any other metaphor one wants to use. Honestly, I don't mind it at all. If I don't feel it, I just don't feel it so I don't miss it.🤷♀️)
If you are on antidepressants, this can also affect your libido. I believe that testosterone can also raise the energy levels and sex drive. Maybe you should go to a sex worker to get the ravishing that you want.
That is so very brave of you to talk about this. I myself have had prostate cancer and had a radical prostectectomy and after over 2 years post op. I cant achieve erection. I feel similar. I dont feel complete.
Sex drive is a duality. The first half is chemical, that's the hormones and adrenaline and all the other chemicals released when you get horny. The 2nd half is psychological. The chemicals don't get released unless the brain tells the glands to release them. Essentially, if your head isn't in the game, you can't play. Psychological works 2 ways as well, it can enhance or destroy, 18 year old boys are psychologically geared to be horny 25 hours a day for instance. So what's your hangup? What's really stopping you? What's acting to kill the signals before your wants can get ahold? Gotta be something girlfriend and it doesn't have to be big. Even anxiety can play a large role.
I feel the same way that you feel no sex drive whatsoever but I'm older than you too I'm 52 years old soon to be 53 and I had my srs at age 50 so I don't trip off of sex like how you a younger transwoman who had her srs at a younger age than I did so I guess there's a slight difference in how we feel but I wish you all the best in getting your sex drive back sweetie. 💞
And other complications. I warned her repeatedly that this was gonna fuck her up... I wish that she listened. I don't have a habit about being incorrect.
Real question here i don't want to offend anyone but when you loose the sex drive that's a Very important part of living my friend you should want it in your life but is it possible to stop taking the estrogen for a little while i was also thinking can you take a pill like Viagra for it, i mean idk if that will work for t girls but im only curious
Try microdosing (100-300mg) shrooms with the Paul stammets formula (i.e. mixed and properly dosed with lions mane and niacin to stimulate nerve recovery)
Makes sense. That happens to many women going through and after menopause. But, it doesn't bother me as much because I've been there and done that. 🤣cannabis helps me too. Love your transparency. Progesterone is only if you have a uterus. So, if one had a hysterectomy but kept their ovaries they are only given estrogen as progesterone is not needed. If you go through menopause and haven't had a hysterectomy then you take both estrogen and progesterone. That's the only way I know how to explain it. Not that you are in that age bracket or would experience it but that's how it works for biological women.
Yeah I think it’s weird that this person is taking progesterone. My worry when the FDA approved the over-the-counter progesterone birth control pill, is that trans women will abuse it without consulting a doctor. Except for transwomen, progesterone isn’t going to do what they want, they need estrogen. Progesterone is just going to give them negative side effects, it isn’t the same as the estrogen “titty skittles”.
Hi glad to hear that you went to a doctor because this is basically a simple fix if there’s anything simple about horror moans if you have had your testicles removed yes you don’t produce the testosterone that you used to however you can take a testosterone supplement to that will not only increase sex drive give you some relief if you experience sore joints you’ll be able to access physical strength that you currently do not feel that you have basically the aggression that it causes you can’t overextend yourself physically basically you’ll be writing checks that your body can’t necessarily cash or at least cash without having some discomfort the day after.
Where is the problem with Marjuhana. You might to nred testosterone in very small doses. Whatever transition method you go to, you will be a patient for the rest of your life. And this is the biggest problem with it. People think they can fix sexuality through medical procedures. Get yourself some testo as pills and start yourself in very small amounts. And slowly augment the dosis depending on your Sex drive and your side effects etc. People are different and experience different amounts of libido with different amounts of Testosterone levels. I am a menopausal woman and a doctor and I take small doses of Testo, depending on my libido and without getting masculine. So microdose youself and do not rely too much on doctors.
I've lost my sex drive due to depression and probably peri menopausal related issues Anyway.. I was always a very sexual woman.. I feel very withdrawn these days and have dated a few great guys over the last few years but wound up breaking up with them because I have absolutely no drive and that really changes my feelings of attraction to a partner.
Sadly it probaby hormones. Due to removing the testicles it is hard to find a balance. I am not sure about hormones or even Viagra. Your position is highly different and my sister was going through menopause though and she even found it hard in having sex. I am not gonna tell you anything bad about the surgery you wanted but it could be more complicated than i know. Hope you feel better though❤❤
don`t worry dear, i have a cure for that! just think of wales, the fire, the passion, the rugby, the dragon and ...... sheep! yes, works for us welsh every time! if you seen the size of our women, us men need motivation, to get us started! ;) lol
Donald Trump and the MAGA movement warned so many people about how transitioning does just this and everyone demanded them be silenced for it. I'm very sorry this happened to you. If it helps at all you do look passing.
This is a common complaint for women in surgical menopause. Progesterone doesn’t have any bearing on sex drive, that’s all testosterone. Hope you get it sorted 💕
I had my sex change like 2 years ago no issues iv had a bad uti but that’s gone I really honestly don’t get some of the stuff you say like u misted urinating standing up or now ur sex drive is gone look u wanted to be a women didn’t u these things r expected sorry to hear that ur sex change hasn’t been the easiest. Also I agree with u New Zealand health care sucks no doctor’s want to see u
I have no sex drive. I don't even remember when I have had sex drive. Last time I had sex was 8 years ago. You have given me the idea of having my hormone levels checked somehow, but I am totally dysphoric about getting any testosterone into my body. I no longer even understand people that are sexual. I am 54.
Ha - you sound like a woman who's going through menopause. It ain't fun. Let me tell you, and yes it messes with your relationship. But, you're not an old female going through "the change".
Brave of you to admit this. This video may help someone on the fence about SRS.
I 2nd another lady's comment here. I'm a biological woman and I struggle with my own hormones. I feel a sex drive only a few days out of the month and it's like clock work with my period.

Maybe she needs some testosterone too, though that must be scary for a transwoman but bio women need some testosterone for as example sex drive too.

You are a really strong woman you’ve come through so much, you can do this and I truly believe you will xx
A man without a penis is not a woman.
I advised you to let this go after the surgery and I'll advise you to now. I told you that it would only get worse the more you tried.

(Maybe I find hard to understand, I need to add, as a biological woman it's natural to have cycles of fluctuating physical drive, so it's a normal state to have times when it just isn't there, and to me, it never ever made the world seem less interesting or feel gray or tasteless or any other metaphor one wants to use. Honestly, I don't mind it at all. If I don't feel it, I just don't feel it so I don't miss it.🤷♀️)
If you are on antidepressants, this can also affect your libido. I believe that testosterone can also raise the energy levels and sex drive. Maybe you should go to a sex worker to get the ravishing that you want.
That is so very brave of you to talk about this. I myself have had prostate cancer and had a radical prostectectomy and after over 2 years post op. I cant achieve erection. I feel similar. I dont feel complete.
Sex drive is a duality. The first half is chemical, that's the hormones and adrenaline and all the other chemicals released when you get horny. The 2nd half is psychological. The chemicals don't get released unless the brain tells the glands to release them. Essentially, if your head isn't in the game, you can't play.
Psychological works 2 ways as well, it can enhance or destroy, 18 year old boys are psychologically geared to be horny 25 hours a day for instance. So what's your hangup? What's really stopping you? What's acting to kill the signals before your wants can get ahold? Gotta be something girlfriend and it doesn't have to be big. Even anxiety can play a large role.
U will b fine u choose one direction now be strong nd u will in peace
Old age or marriage will also kill a sex drive 😱😨
I feel the same way that you feel no sex drive whatsoever but I'm older than you too I'm 52 years old soon to be 53 and I had my srs at age 50 so I don't trip off of sex like how you a younger transwoman who had her srs at a younger age than I did so I guess there's a slight difference in how we feel but I wish you all the best in getting your sex drive back sweetie. 💞
I think life would be easier if you embrace the changes after SRS. You have become a different person. Why not just embrace it.
Bc Lee has lost her sex drive completely!! It’s natural for her to want some spark back in her life!!
And other complications. I warned her repeatedly that this was gonna fuck her up... I wish that she listened. I don't have a habit about being incorrect.
Sorry hun just saw more of your videos ❤ fingers crossed 🤞 its hrt it was for me and were about the same age 🦋
Wait till you hit 75 and theres no sex life you can still enjoy life its not the end of the world.
Yep You might have to start taking testosterone. That gives a will to live...
Real question here i don't want to offend anyone but when you loose the sex drive that's a Very important part of living my friend you should want it in your life but is it possible to stop taking the estrogen for a little while i was also thinking can you take a pill like Viagra for it, i mean idk if that will work for t girls but im only curious
Testosterone is a hell of a drug.
Try microdosing (100-300mg) shrooms with the Paul stammets formula (i.e. mixed and properly dosed with lions mane and niacin to stimulate nerve recovery)
Sounds like you're approaching 50 :)
Makes sense. That happens to many women going through and after menopause. But, it doesn't bother me as much because I've been there and done that. 🤣cannabis helps me too. Love your transparency. Progesterone is only if you have a uterus. So, if one had a hysterectomy but kept their ovaries they are only given estrogen as progesterone is not needed. If you go through menopause and haven't had a hysterectomy then you take both estrogen and progesterone. That's the only way I know how to explain it. Not that you are in that age bracket or would experience it but that's how it works for biological women.
Yeah I think it’s weird that this person is taking progesterone. My worry when the FDA approved the over-the-counter progesterone birth control pill, is that trans women will abuse it without consulting a doctor. Except for transwomen, progesterone isn’t going to do what they want, they need estrogen. Progesterone is just going to give them negative side effects, it isn’t the same as the estrogen “titty skittles”.
For other trans girls here, I did suggest Mojo before she got SRS
Should try testosterone
My goodness that's so awful .. try getting off the hormones? Idk you don't deserve this.... I'm so sorry
I'm female and I don't have one
Hi glad to hear that you went to a doctor because this is basically a simple fix if there’s anything simple about horror moans if you have had your testicles removed yes you don’t produce the testosterone that you used to however you can take a testosterone supplement to that will not only increase sex drive give you some relief if you experience sore joints you’ll be able to access physical strength that you currently do not feel that you have basically the aggression that it causes you can’t overextend yourself physically basically you’ll be writing checks that your body can’t necessarily cash or at least cash without having some discomfort the day after.
They don't do much for people like us New Zealand sucks for helping us with everything
Amen sister 🙏
Where is the problem with Marjuhana. You might to nred testosterone in very small doses. Whatever transition method you go to, you will be a patient for the rest of your life. And this is the biggest problem with it. People think they can fix sexuality through medical procedures. Get yourself some testo as pills and start yourself in very small amounts. And slowly augment the dosis depending on your Sex drive and your side effects etc. People are different and experience different amounts of libido with different amounts of Testosterone levels. I am a menopausal woman and a doctor and I take small doses of Testo, depending on my libido and without getting masculine. So microdose youself and do not rely too much on doctors.
I've lost my sex drive due to depression and probably peri menopausal related issues Anyway.. I was always a very sexual woman.. I feel very withdrawn these days and have dated a few great guys over the last few years but wound up breaking up with them because I have absolutely no drive and that really changes my feelings of attraction to a partner.
Sadly it probaby hormones. Due to removing the testicles it is hard to find a balance. I am not sure about hormones or even Viagra. Your position is highly different and my sister was going through menopause though and she even found it hard in having sex. I am not gonna tell you anything bad about the surgery you wanted but it could be more complicated than i know. Hope you feel better though❤❤
Sounds like you’re in menopause… that’s what happens to us older ladies… definitely could be hormone related!💜
Eeek I think you are right
It can happen all the information I was giving by my gender clinic was so helpful to proper for situations like this and the rest
don`t worry dear, i have a cure for that! just think of wales, the fire, the passion, the rugby, the dragon and ...... sheep! yes, works for us welsh every time! if you seen the size of our women, us men need motivation, to get us started! ;) lol
Hahaha 😂
I hope you find happiness
Donald Trump and the MAGA movement warned so many people about how transitioning does just this and everyone demanded them be silenced for it. I'm very sorry this happened to you. If it helps at all you do look passing.
This is a common complaint for women in surgical menopause. Progesterone doesn’t have any bearing on sex drive, that’s all testosterone. Hope you get it sorted 💕
How are your testosterone levels? Could you take a break from estrogen and use T
Im ts to and i take progesterone. Sexdrive came back ♡
I'm looking to start progesterone soon. Hopefully, it helps me as well.
I've just started it. How long did it take
Google on how to bouf progesterone ♡
Because srs not transition ❤ I'm so sorry your struggling x level checks hun and see about female vigagra and see natural remedies ❤
*typo: "If"
tHIS VIDEO MAKES ME NOT WANT TO DO SRS
I had my sex change like 2 years ago no issues iv had a bad uti but that’s gone I really honestly don’t get some of the stuff you say like u misted urinating standing up or now ur sex drive is gone look u wanted to be a women didn’t u these things r expected sorry to hear that ur sex change hasn’t been the easiest. Also I agree with u New Zealand health care sucks no doctor’s want to see u
So I guess you can do nnn forever
wow lol
Omg
❤❤💜💜🥰
I have no sex drive. I don't even remember when I have had sex drive. Last time I had sex was 8 years ago. You have given me the idea of having my hormone levels checked somehow, but I am totally dysphoric about getting any testosterone into my body. I no longer even understand people that are sexual. I am 54.
women produce testosterone tho. also it’s an invisible hormone. genuinely curious as to why that would make you disphoric?
@@underdilfwood2392 It may depend on the level. If it causes hair growth, change in body odor etc. it will make me dysphoric.
"Fake, fake, fake, fake." - Elaine Benes. 😉 It'll come back. In a way, your transition has proven to be more successful than you imagined.
Ha - you sound like a woman who's going through menopause. It ain't fun. Let me tell you, and yes it messes with your relationship. But, you're not an old female going through "the change".
