This happened to a coworker of mine. She is a trans woman who is very much not passing as a female.
Her libido is gone and can't find anyone to truly love or bond with in a relationship.
It's caused serious depression for her but at the time of her transition she thought if she never did it she would regret it.
To make matters worse we live in a small conservative town and transitioning lost her 90 percent of her "friends"
Dear God the amount of popcorn would sustain me for a month
I tried to make this point on Era once but they banned me (obviously)
The thing with transgender (hormone) therapy is that supply has greatly increased in a short period of time.
Before if people wanted to change 'sex' they might've first tried the clothes, customs, mannerisms of the other gender.
Thus having a better idea of what said gender would be and 'feel' like before seeking out a more permanent treatment.
(kinda like acting or a trial run if you will)
If you skip that phase and go straight to hormone therapy you didn't really have any time to get used to the idea.
In my view some people that 'transition' are transitioning because they feel there's something 'wrong' with them that they can't process or solve.
But if the solution to all sorts of identity crises, insecurities and bonding issues becomes gender transitioning you will end up with a lot of unhappy people who picked the wrong sort of treatment.
