My partner is concerned that I'm going to suddenly start being attracted to men once I start on the trans-mission fluid. Apparently she keeps reading Reddit posts about people who's sexual orientation changes after they start hormones. How common is this? I can't personally think of a word in which I would be attracted to men. Honestly it kinda crosses me out. I did go through a period where I decided to see if I was bisexual and slept with a couple of dudes, but I found the experience really off-putting. Have any of you ladies experienced a switch in sexual orientation? If so, from what to what?

HRT won't fundamentally change your sexuality. It may uncover something that you have had repressed, but if you are very confident about your sexuality right now, this is unlikely. I was bi before HRT and I am still bi now.

That's what I figured. She's been reading a bunch of stories on Reddit about people who transition and then just suddenly aren't attracted to their partners anymore because they're suddenly gay or suddenly straight. But tbh, I'm 90% sure at least half the stuff on Reddit is completely made up.

I'm assuming you meant partner instead of parents hahahaha
