Wow, thanks for sharing that. I can sort of relate to this, and I hate the doubt it causes. Especially because I certainly experience massive dysphoria.

Based on personal experience and observation, testosterone seems to increase sexual attraction to females. That’s not to say that it hijack’s ones sexual orientation, but it does seem to broaden it. This could also be due to increased libido. As for misogyny among transmen, that seems more likely rooted in a life-long attempt to distance themselves from identification with females. Most transmen I know are advocates of gender equality, but there is always that element who over-corrects.

When I seriously began to consider transition, I *did* experience a form of grief. Although bound and hidden during the day, I lay in bed and caressed them at night, asking myself if I was sure. The fear stemmed mainly from the fact that I consider myself predominately gay, and realized I would likely never touch breasts again. It’s a strange sensation to appreciate a part of yourself from the perspective of an outsider.
