Post-op shemales; Do they produce semen?

So, since a post-op (OK, female/ex male) still retains her prostate and the level of hormone deprivation is the same as with a castrated male, it stands to reason that, especially early on post-surgery, semen will still be produced AND at least some will be expelled from the urethral opening.



I don't totally agree with your idea about a post-op lady and a castrated male having the same amount of hormone deprivation. Does it stand to reason a post-op lady is most likely taking estrogen and a castrated male isn't? If normal female levels of estrogen are present, wouldn't the adrenal gland be influenced to produce less testosterone by the hypothalamus (GnRH) and the pituitary gland (luteinizing hormone) actions? I understood that was the way the body regulated the amount of testosterone in the body.

I'm not saying there can't be any ejaculatory fluid even with the testosterone level further reduced by estrogen HRT, but it might be less than a castrated male with no HRT.
