    *   Sexual desire in trans people after HRT/SRS
    *   _“The majority of trans women reported a decrease in sexual desire after SRT, whereas the opposite was observed in trans men. Our results show a significant sexual impact of surgical interventions and both hormonal and surgical treatment satisfaction on the sexual desire in trans persons.”_
    * Some data in several of the trans subsections contradict this, so it's an interesting subject
