I've experienced both sides, and there is definitely a different quality to the attraction and horny-ness. It's hard to put my finger on or describe in a way that isn't a cliche like "aggressive" and "raw". It's less romantic? It fills your mind a little, it's impulsive, it doesn't have the same yearning. At least for me.

For what it's worth I prefer my attraction and sex now as a woman. Not to act as an internet doctor, but I definitely felt a bit like you when my testosterone was too low. All women have testosterone and having the wrong amount can affect sexual desire - it might be worth having yours checked.

    I guess I know jackshit about how transgender experience intimacy because I wouldn't have thought transitioning would affect feeling of desire at all. But now that I think of it, attraction is brain chemistry, and that is -of course- being affected by transition. Thanks for shedding some light on this
