Haven't posted here in ages.
Orgasms, like recovery, like HRT results will vary from person to person.
what gets me there might not be what gets you there, you could have the reverse effort.
For me, I was youngish (21), I knew my body pre-GRS and knew that I had some work to do.
When I first started out I wasn't masturbating as such, I would feel around, work out what was feeling nice, what was a no-no and what felt like "being touched by an octopus wearing ski gloves".
I started to worry at first that I hated my clitoris being touched, it took a few weeks of playing around to work out that while I hated it being touched directly at first, after a while I loved it and it felt amazing.
I also worked out that I needed to be wet to get any pleasure from the touching, whether what was from lube (I no longer use any) or by getting wet, which back then was only a tiny bit.
After a little while of not quite getting there, don't get me wrong the trying was amazing I started to watch some female centric porn. That helped even if it was a background thing.
It got to the stage I thought that while I couldnt get there but was okish with that, then one night I started to add more pressure on my clitoris, it was like I was dying for the pressure and it happened.
So you need to play around, don't focus on the end result, focus on the feelings, love getting to know your body, relax, try different things, watch porn or read a sexy book.
