      Absolutely not. You can still get a boner on the drugs used, a lot of trans women still have penetrative intercourse as tops and/or enjoy sex while being on a similar stack (Although with added female sex hormones)

      The theory of chemical castration is that removing testosterone makes you less likely to commit sexual assault, this is backed by an observed lower recidivism rate among people willing to undergo chemical castration and nothing else.

      It’s giving a man “menopause”. Its shitty.

        No to both. Although there can be permanent side effects (But that’s true for any hormone medication taken over longer periods)
