Asexual trans boys starting testosterone are absolutely amazing. Dealing with increased sex drive can cause lots of confusion and if the ace label doesn’t 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. I’m not actually that much more horny than before starting hrt but I’m much more accepting of myself and the fact that my sex drive isn’t going to just go away. So actually, it’s nice to look back and see me tell myself that this is just a new facet of my identity that just doesn’t fit my old labels anymore.
All of this is a long way of saying that I’m not asexual anymore. I haven’t fit that label for a while, and going on testosterone has helped solidify the decision to stop calling myself ace. I don’t think I experience sexual attraction the same way that other people do, but I also don’t think I lack attraction. It’s hard to describe what I feel but it doesn’t bother me. Anyway, this was just an update on where I’m at and finally accepting something I’ve been scared to say for a while.
