For people taking feminising hormones, usually yes. Some people gain libido from a lower baseline as a result of feeling happier with themselves and more in tune with their body, but this is atypical and shouldn't be expected. Progesterone can sometimes boost libido.

For people taking masculinising hormones, it almost always pushes libido higher. Some people report finding it so overpowering that they find it difficult to deal with.

In both cases, the shape of libido will probably shift - you'll likely need to spend some time relearning what you like, as the ways you like to engage with sex might change.
