    Yeah I didn’t learn that until after I became one. That was a fun thing to be informed is normal after thinking something is wrong

      So when you say "after I became one" are you saying you're trans and have begun to experience this after bottom surgery? If so, I'm wondering if there are the same kind of secretions from the penis that I'm just not noticing. I mean there are times when I drift off in thoughts of sexual fantasies and end up with "pre-cum" in my underwear. I wonder if it's the same process.

        As a trans woman, we definitely can get a similar phenomenon, but I can't vouch for how common it is or if it's the same thing.

        If it does happen, it generally starts a while after your hormone levels get consistently in the right place. Don't need surgery. For me, it's even straight up dependant on what brand of estrogen I'm taking. I take injections, and if I'm on 10mg/ml, it happens, but any time I have to take 20mg/ml, it stops. Doesn't matter that my hormone levels haven't shifted even slightly.

        It is known that it's the same organs producing it as males have, but why it begins to behave like that and why it doesn't happen to everyone is, as far as I know, completely unknown.
