Can someone be ace because of gender dysphoria?
So introducing myself. I'm Feliks, a transgender male.
I found out that I feel disgusted when it comes topic of sex.
I feel disgusted of my own genitals so I wouldn't have sex or masturbate ever. Eventually until I have actually those body parts which I have I will not even plan to have sex... I still have female body parts which I hate and I think that's because of it I feel disgusted.
I don't have any sexual desires or dreams most of the time.
I don't like when someone in public irl talk about sex or even jokes about it. I feel weird.
I think that probably mainly it's because of gender dysphoria..
Maybe I'm not ace then? It's just dysphoria and nothing else?
This disgust started since I started puberty.
Does anything what I am telling here makes sense?

@Miczel it makes absolutely sense, and it's totally possible that your disgust towards sex is caused by your gender dysphoria.
Therefore, tranisitioning and/or addressing your feelings with a good therapist might help you dealing with it. Whether your feelings towards sex change or not, though, I hope you can find your happiness! Wish you the best!
