Part of me wants to avoid posting this because I like to allow for "magic", sometimes leaving space for miracles is a good idea and in my own experience there were times in my life when I needed to believe certain things and I would still like to believe.

But anyway...  Here is my experience.

After SRS it seemed like I was self-lubricating but what appeared to be self-lubrication was actually K-Y (or similar) lube from dilating, etc.

The gland that produced lube before SRS continues to produce lube after SRS.  The problem is that the lube occurs at the urethra.  Sometimes during "sex" I must have my partner completely pull out in order to make good use of the lube that is originating at the urethral opening.   There have been times when things were hot&heavy and it seemed like I was actually lubricating from inside the vagina.  I have no idea.  But I do know that there were times in the past when I didn't dilate with lube, etc., and my vagina was completely dry inside, chalky and slightly wet but no slickness, no lube whatsoever.

I am disappointed but it isn't that big a deal anymore.  Someone I have always been female so lubrication doesn't make or break who or what I am.  If an affordable treatment existed to fix things I would absolutely do it..

Oh... And I have been with a lot of guys who didn't know that I transitioned though rumors were always going around that I had.  I had more than a few people comment that my vagina didn't have a strong odor like other women.  Not sure if that was because of the rumors or simply the case, probably a combination of the two.  Personally I don't think my vagina smells like other women's vaginae.  Hold on, going to double check...  I don't know..  O_o  Maybe it does.  When I was constantly sexually active I was constantly using a vaginal syringe to put 1 CC of lube inside of myself to ensure I was wet on demand.  I would dose myself before a date and sometimes dose myself in the restaurant bathroom before heading to the hotel.  Think work here.

Cowpers Gland lube the end of penis via urethra so when the urethra is cut off and rrepositioned inside the vagina it should still produce natural lube. 
hard to know if estrogen stops the glands working as them being tuned to male setting?
it wouldbe a courtesy to a partner to have aquick wash/wipe and apply a little lube if sex is on th emenu.

anyone tried strawberry flavoured lubes?

seem to remember an angry article in a magazine from a guy upset to see billboards for strawberry lube in his town.  Can't remember what part of USA he was in though.

Wait, what? Is the Cowper's gland moved to the vagina, or is does it still work via the urethra? The latter would make more sense as the corresponding glands exit within the vulva, next to the vagina, in natal women.

[lilacwoman]

glands are tucked up inside and use same tube as pee so they should still lube during arousal if cut short but question is: does estrogen shut them down?

I notice - hard to ignore actually! - that after about 6 months post-op sometimes watching romantic stuff on telly I get a nice twinge between my legs and I get wet.

I get EXTREMELY wet when turned on.  EXTREMELY, BUT, I dont chance it.  I have ejaculated 41 times before and the man said the taste was nothing like he had eva tasted before and that is the concensus of most of my partners.  They get IMMEDIATELY hooked.  They tell me that most women are salty but they said MINE was sweet with a touch of salt like kettle korn.  Now I was told prior to that there would be NO secretion AT ALL.  Well I guess they have to tell people that because maybe my case is rare but 6wks later i explored my body and had my FIRST ORGASM of my LIFE.  i was a trans that DID use my part and never let a man see it so when i had the orgasm, I lost my mind, took pictures and sent the immediately to dr bowers and she congratulated me. 

I did it all day just to see and the SAME result.  So I dont know, I dont have the issues that a lot of people have, I have 7 inches, i have stretched to accommodate a man the size of a coke bottle and i am EXTREMELY wet.

Often when a guy gets excited he'll leak a little bit of clear lube long before orgasm and that's what it tastes like.
I produce some lube during decent foreplay, enough for my g/f to do me with 2 fingers.  I have some doubt that it would alone be enough for penetration by a male.
At climax, I do release quite a bit more and yes, it tastes as above.
