You are literally the first doctor I have heard who has talked about how different trans people feel differently about their genitals in terms of dysphoria. It seems like all of the doctors I have dealt with think that genital dysphoria is a required symptom for all transgender people.

This is where I'm stuck at. I want to be on hormones, but I also don't want to lose my sexual function. I'm neutral about my genitals and don't like the idea of surgery because of the pain and various other things that come with it that I don't feel is worth it because of my neutral feelings. So I still want to use what I have, but I also don't want to lose function of it and my libido. It also doesn't help that my "love language" is touch, where I'm always in contact with my partner, so sex plays a large part in bonding as well. So I feel stuck between two strong desires and I don't know which to choose.

My libido didn't really go away, it just kind of changed. it's not overbearing anymore and it feels right now. It seems much more nuanced and healthy than it did before and progesterone has only helped to further that sense of wellness. However, when I do get aroused I get more dysphoric than I used to over how my bottom area still sometimes reacts and it doesn't help that it is uncomfortable physically when that happens... I have a year before I become eligible for bottom surgery,

It is also now more so all over, whether that is a sensation of tingly warmness or like I have lightning coursing through my veins and across my skin, rather than beginning more localized and muted feeling like it was prior to starting hrt. I think the thing I love the most is it never feels coercive like it used to but rather it feels inviting, gentle and fulfilling(which isn't to say that it can't be intense at times). Overall, how my libido has changed has been for the better and makes me much less dysphoric in it's current form.

Sorry if this, tmi. I just wanted to relay my experience with how HRT changed my sex drive after a year.

I had thought about this problem but I realize that having an erection bothers me because it is a clear outward sign of domination and for me the loss of erection due to my hormone intake will be rather a benefit, on the other hand I hope that my libido will not disappear, but I have a very strong sexual appetite, so I expect a reduction but not a total cancellation.
Thank you for the video. :) 💅

Your video started without sound and I saw you making gestures (referring to the shorts on IG and TicToc) and I thought: oooh, dr Z is being very graphic today! 😂

[ndrdjoh]

I'm a very sexually active person. 😌 now I don't use mine in a penetrative fashion but I do have a healthy relationship with it and don't want to lose out on my sexual expression just because I'm gonna be on estrogen.

So I'm gonna 100% make sure I express if I'm having discomfort or feeling that malaise. Thank you.

[acsweetham]

Thank you, Dr Z. Do you know how encouraging it is to hear this being discussed? It likely applies to a number of people, and if, like me, it’s not easy to talk about such things, even though it matters, seeing someone else getting the ball rolling is really helpful 🙏🏻

[Chuckles]

Hi, doctor! Thank you for posting this video. As a trans woman who fits into the category of those who have not been able to have confirmation surgery because of economic reasons, I really appreciate this post. The dysphoria inducing prospect of Viagra has been a hurdle for me that I have not been able to clear. I do long for sexual intimacy with my wife, though. I'm still not sure how to reconcile my dysphoria with my longing, but this has certainly helped.
Thank you.

Excellent video Dr Z! I have been transitioning for 8 months now, am on 75mg estradiol (and no T blockers), have noted only a slight diminishing of libido and function, but still have acceptable functionality of my genitals so far. I do fall into the category of those who don't hate that part of my body, and at first thought maybe I'd keep it. I'm now thinking I do want the bottom surgery eventually, but hope to remain functional and able to engage in a healthy sex life regardless. I've already addressed this with the physician who prescribed me hormones and they had no problem whatsoever with issuing me a script for Viagra when and if I need it. The issue of if am really right for transition if I want to keep my 'original issue equipment' never came up and I don't gett the feeling she is doubting my genuine need and wish to transition at all. To all those who worry about this... Don't worry. It's not usually (in my experience) an issue. If your doctor does begin to doubt you because of this - perhaps it's time to find a doctor who better understands the complex and interwoven issues involved, or to educate them (politely) yourself!

Im mtf, my dysphoria is almost everything but my genitals, i like my genitals to be honest, I have no intention on bottom surgery, but i hope anyone else here gets the procedures they want. Good to see someone else highlighting that it's not essential to dysphoria, because i really dont like how masculine my body is.

My libido has dropped a lot, but never went, it was a bit much before going on hormones 😅 but function has dropped a fair amount, not completely though, luckily.

[stevencarlton]

Very happy for you to figure out what what was happening to you continue on the success live free ❤️

Hi Dr Z,
Please consider posting your 'video shorts' from Instagram and TikTok here on youtube as well, maybe under a playlist.

After over 2 years on HRT I started Cialis about a year and half ago for 2 reasons. First my spouse was still interested in intercourse and second I had some concerns that my genital material may not be enough to use for vaginoplasty and read at least one case of a trans woman using Cialis to maintain penis size for later surgery. It kind of through the pharmacist for a loop when I came in with an updated prescription for Estradiol, and scripts for Spironolactone, Progesterone, AND Cialis but with the help of a supervisor all my scripts were filled. Good Times!

Thanks for all you do!
Christie

Always very informative. I just have a different type of feeling which now I understand. Some people have different reasons for what they do. Right now I feel comfortable in my stage of transition.

[IzzaKoshkina]

omg, you're literally glowing in this video ;D

[GLITeryGutZ]

Thank you so much for the information!I just started e and I wanted know more about the side effects that I wasn't told about

[spartysmile]

Perfect earrings, enrich your style. So wonderful.

You are incredibly smart and intelligent! You deserve more than a million subscribers🙏🏼❤️

I took an appointment with my psychiatrist regarding this topic. To fix my bladder cancer, I had a chemotherapy followed by a prostatecystectomy with an urostomy. Since then the effects of my low dosed HRT for menopaused woman, that I am, seems to be huge physically, but also on the psychics. My genitals shrunk and worse cannot be used anymore (side effect of the surgery). The psychics is even more affected: dysphoria, libido, sexual orientation, etc.

[TravellingOntario]

OMG YES!!!! i love the feminization but when i had my T Lowered i missed the sexual side of things, love your videos!!!

[ChristianCatboy]

I'm not having any trouble with lowered libido or arousal. What I'm having trouble with is the fact that my genitals have gotten to be so much physically softer now, and I'm still used to treating them quite roughly. Sometimes I wonder if I'd rather reduce Spiro, to moderate that effect. Maybe the topical T idea is one for me to consider...
