How do sexual interests in various things shift after taking HRT? I asked a bunch of trans people their experiences, and here's the average results.
(sample size was relatively low, 50 on testosterone and 222 on estrogen)

Did you include some lizardman questions? I remember there were some people convinced your survey was some kind of evil plot saying they were going to give ridiculous answers.

yeah i checked quite a few things and aggressively removed data, particularly from the time period there was a whole brigade around it. I have some details in my writeup.

What's the stddev of each datapoint (I assume your plot is average)? Would be good to include to see how significant the value or difference between hormones really is...

It looks like overall HRT provides a pretty strong boost to libido and sexuality in general. There's hardly any points that drop below the zero change line. The results might look more interesting if you can normalize for that in some way.

I wonder if those reporting reduced sex drive but increased sexual interests, makes sense if sexuality impulsivity is down, but self esteem/comfort with your sexuality is up?

I've always been curious about the file of hormones in shaping social constructs and how that undermines the idea of a patriarchy, or anyone acting with intent, in creating them for reasons of power or oppression. People seem to think they're arbitrary things.
