Has anyone gone from being asexual to allosexual after transition?
In trans femme spaces, people often talk about E changing sexuality. But that conversation usually assumes allosexuality as the baseline, focussing on who you’re attracted to rather than whether sexual desire itself is present.
Before transition, I thought I was a straight boy. After my egg cracked, I realized much of what I’d labeled attraction was actually gender envy. When that fell away, my sense of desire didn’t transform. It disappeared.
At first, I assumed dysphoria had blocked my sexuality, and that transition would connect me to something that had been inaccessible before.
Then I learned about #asexuality.
So I’m asking: if you were ace pre-transition or ace-in-retrospect, did transition change that for you? Did sexual desire ever show up where it hadn’t been before?
