I spent most of yesterday at a local high school speaking to the psychology classes about being transgender. It was the 6th time in 3 years I've been to the school. It's an incredible thing to be asked to return year after year. But, I digress
While answering questions, one of the students asked whether I thought hormones (testosterone/ estrogen) had an effect on sexual orientation. I responded that I've seen many individuals who never felt anything toward a specific sex feel a change after beginning hormone therapy, and that based on that hormones must have some sort of an effect on orientation. I did say that it was possible that hormones helped in bringing down barriers that societal pressure had imposed on us, and perhaps didn't truly change orientation, just opened us up to something that had been being denied. But, now I'm beginning to second-guess my answer.
I'd like to hear what y'all have to say. Especially those who are on hormones. Have you noticed a change in who you are attracted to?
