Many people experience changes to how they identify throughout their lives.

This isn\u2019t shocking, as both gender and sexual orientation can shift throughout your lifespan. This means that anyone can experience changes to who they are (or aren\u2019t) attracted to, regardless of their gender identity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transgender people experience a variety of changes throughout their gender transition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This may include changes to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emotions\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medical needs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mental health<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical appearance<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sexual, romantic, or emotional attraction<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a natural result of your body going through hormonal and physical changes.

Not only can this happen, but it seems to be a common occurrence. Many of the reported changes include shifting from attraction to one gender to shifting to attraction to more than one gender.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>How Common Are Changes to Sexual Orientation?<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research suggests that transgender people are more likely than cisgender people to report changes to their sexual orientation. Though this is common, not every transgender person will experience changes to sexual attraction during transition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In one <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.plos.org\/plosone\/article?id=10.1371\/journal.pone.0110016\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, researchers surveyed 115 Dutch transgender people to determine if sexual orientation shifted during gender transition. The researchers found that 33 percent of trans women and 22 percent of trans men reported changes to their sexual orientation. They did not identify a trend as to when these changes occurred during the transition process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/00224499.2014.1003028\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2015 study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of transgender and gender non-conforming people found similar results. The researchers surveyed participants about their sexual orientation across the lifespan. Out of 452 participants, more than 58 percent of participants reported significant changes to their sexual orientation within their lifetime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>When Do Sexual Orientation Changes Occur?<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 2015 study found that 49 percent of trans masculine and 64 percent of trans feminine respondents experienced changes to their sexual orientation during transition. Most participants reported experiencing these changes after social transition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Researchers from the Dutch study weren\u2019t able to identify a trend in when changes occurred during the transition process. However, they did find that some participants reported changes to sexual orientation prior to beginning transition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>What Are the Most Common Sexual Orientation Changes Reported?<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most research shows changes in attraction from one exclusive gender prior to transition to attraction to more than one gender following transition. However, some research has shown a more significant shift in sexual attraction among transgender adults. For example, a transgender person may be predominantly attracted to women prior to transition but predominantly attracted to men post-transition. The reverse may also occur.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s10508-005-1793-y\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of 232 American trans women who had completed surgical and hormonal transition showed dramatic shifts from attraction to one predominant gender to the opposite gender after transition. Prior to transition, 54 percent of participants were primarily attracted to women and 9 percent were primarily attracted to men. Following transition, only 25 percent of participants were primarily attracted to women and 34 percent were primarily attracted to men.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Gaps in the Research<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the research conducted in this area has focused on sexual attraction toward men or women, without accounting for attraction to transgender or gender non-conforming people. Surveys on sexual orientation may also leave out agender and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/current-health-news\/sexual-identity-asexual-vs-aromantic\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">asexual<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> individuals.

For transgender people, this may be more likely. Experts haven\u2019t identified the exact reason why this happens, but there are several leading theories that help explain the shift.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Hormonal Changes<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people assume that changes to sexual orientation can be traced directly back to hormonal changes. Sex hormones, like testosterone and estrogen, do play an important role in attraction, arousal, and sexual function. However, the hormonal changes a transgender person experiences during transition wouldn\u2019t account for shifts in sexual orientation alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many transgender people undergo <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Fsgd0000588\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hormonal therapy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> while receiving gender-affirming care. Not all transgender people experience changes to their sexual orientation during this process. Some transgender people also report changes to sexual orientation prior to beginning hormone therapy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jsm\/article\/17\/4\/812\/6973519?login=false\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> does suggest that people undergoing hormonal therapy are likely to experience changes to their levels of sexual desire (or libido). However, these changes are likely to be temporary, typically only affecting people during the early stages of transition.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Sexual Orientation Is Fluid<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sexual orientation isn\u2019t a fixed construct. This means that some people may identify with the same label throughout their lives, while others may identify with more than one label. Longitudinal <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/00224499.2022.2060927\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> supports the idea that sexual orientation can shift over time, regardless of gender.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A study recently published in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/00224499.2019.1577351?journalCode=hjsr20\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Journal of Sex Research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> demonstrates that many people experience changes to their sexual attractions and identities well into adulthood. Researchers found that women were more likely than men to report fluid sexuality. They also found that people who identified as straight were the least likely to report changes to their sexual orientation over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Gender Congruence<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gender congruence describes the feeling of your body and identity being aligned. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jahonline.org\/article\/S1054-139X(22)00701-7\/fulltext\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shows that adolescents undergoing transition experience fewer mental health challenges when they report higher levels of gender congruence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feeling as if your body isn\u2019t aligned with your identity can contribute psychological, emotional, physical, and social barriers to sexual, romantic, or emotional attraction. As transgender people transition, they often feel more comfortable with and at home in their bodies. Gender congruence can empower transgender people to explore their sexual orientation in a new way.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Be a Better Ally<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a label to describe your gender or sexual orientation can feel validating and exciting. However, many LGBTQ+ people still experience stigma, bias, and discrimination. Transgender people who are undergoing a shift in their sexual orientation may need additional support and affirmation from their loved ones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning how to be a good <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/current-health-news\/how-to-be-an-lgbtq-ally\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LGBTQ+ ally<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can go a long way in supporting your loved ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Better Relationships with eDrugstore<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At eDrugstore, we\u2019re committed to providing people of all genders with the resources they need to have happier and healthier relationships.
