Brief Answer:
Will experience low libido.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

Both estrogen and testosterone play a role on sexual desire in men's brain.
Men with normal or high testosterone taking estrogen will still experience reduced sexual desire,low libido, erectile dysfunction and of course difficulty to experience orgasm.
If a man has low testosterone taking estrogen will increase libido and sexual desire.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
You may need to take estradiol

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
Degarelix is likely to reduce testosterone and estrogen.
I believe you may need to increase estradiol intake possibly depo estradiol to help you transformation from male to female.
Consult an endocrinologist about it.
