I'm sorry to sound like such a n00b here... But... What is this infamous 'T?'
My sex drive is already absolutely nuts, it doesn't need to go up! My boyfriend can't keep up with me! @_O

But that was one of the huge reasons why I thought I'd never change myself... Loss of sensation, no more orgasms. (I sort of... Depend on them. I know, TMI.)

But what is 'T?' By the sounds of it I may benefit from it.

Hi Kismet.....

The sex hormones Testosterone and Estrogen are normally present in both Male and Females.  The contra-sex hormone (i.e Testosterone) in Females is produced in the Adrenal Gland and the level (or absence of it) is directly related to sex drive in Women.

Women need a low level of Testosterone to achieve a sustainable Sex drive and there is a great deal of literature available regarding recent medical treatment of women with low sex drives.

Of course if to higher levels are achieved this can lead to irreversible masculinization (deeping voice, facial hair, male baldness patern), desirable in a FTM TS but no so for a genetic female. Hair loss and baldness may be to higher price to pay to be able to read a map and reverse parallel park a car!

...

I have no idea about the guys, but being female and stuck in a male body with the corresponding abundance of Testosterone and corresponding sex drive all I can say is that I take great offence to the thought of "treatment" for my (now) "low" sex drive.

Heaven forbid if I am not interested in the activity? ^{*chortles and shrugs*}

I sometimes wonder about the medical community
