Hi, I saw some other AMAs on here, so I hope it’s ok to post one too, otherwise I’ll gladly remove it.

I’m a 23yo trans woman and I have Hypersexuality, formerly known as nymphomania. I’m attempting to get an 6C72 Diagnosis under the ICD-11, although it’s unlikely I’ll get one soon.

Hypersexuality combines a high sex drive with a compulsive behavior disorder (to make it clear: high sex drives alone does NOT equal hypersexuality). Due to this, a lot of my life revolves around sex and intimacy. As it’s a disorder, there is also a certain level of distress that comes from it.

Feel free to Ask Me Anything! No questions are off limits! I’ll try to answer everything as soon as possible

    Yeah I fully understand your position here. I think you’ve been transparent about your situation. The biggest risk ofc is people only reading the title and then skipping straight to the comment section, but I personally don’t regard it as that big of a risk.

    “The process of getting a diagnosis” is very long though, and we of course can’t exactly tell whereabouts you’re at at the moment. Is it final deliberations, first questionnaire, or are you still exploring where to even ask for a diagnosis, etc… It sounds like you’re further along, but I can understand the first person who commented in this chain to be a bit apprehensive when people state “I have X”, only to then in the proverbial fine print mention that “they’re getting a diagnosis”, whatever that might mean.

    Speaking of, how far along with the process are you?
