Because I’m transgender and have personally experienced both. And yes, there is evidence to support the idea that transgender women experience the same type of orgasm as cisgender women. Here’s a long-term study into transgender orgasms: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0090429523000341
And here’s just the excerpt for the conclusion if you don’t want to read the whole article:
Our findings suggest that TW [transgender women] and TM [transgender men] experience considerable changes in several orgasm function domains after commencing GAHT [gender affirming hormone therapy]. For TW, many of these changes align with what cis-women describe for the same orgasm function domains. GAHT related changes are for the most part experienced positively by patients, and both TW and TM generally report improved overall orgasm quality and satisfaction.
This is interesting 🤔 admittedly I haven’t read the article yet but the excerpt seems to be stating that they have shared traits, but doesn’t say they’re exactly the same.
Basketballs share commonalities with footballs but it’s still a different story, just not sure I’d claim to have experienced both without having 100% experienced both.
Not insulting you or coming off with any malice that’s just my take, but I can see exactly where you’re coming from. TW orgasms are probably much, much more like CW orgasms than they are cis-man orgasms so I see where you’re coming from.
They’re probably saying that because scientific conclusions usually err on the side of caution. Plus they’re using anecdotal evidence to make their claim which is known to be unreliable. However, there’s really no other way to gather data about this except asking people or maybe sticking them in an MRI machine while they achieve orgasm which would be awkward and expensive, so it’s kind of the best we’ve got.
They can then compare cisgender orgasm descriptions to transgender orgasm descriptions and see if they match up. And despite the shaky foundation of anecdotal evidence, this is a very long term study and they used a pretty large sample size (130 participants) so it should weed out any anomalies.
It’s certainly still possible that the participants are imagining or embellishing the results, but I think the people behind the study did the best they could to gather accurate data.
How do you know how they differ with such detail?
