As an AMAB them-fatale who found out they had male pattern baldness the day they came out, I, uh, I needed to hear this. 😭 EDIT: I really do appreciate the ideas and help, everyone, but I think we all misunderstood the assignment given the quote: "...femininity doesn't have to come from hair or any of those traditional female archetypes of appearance..." 😂 Thank you all though, I have happy tears reading your replies.
I don't know what your plans are, and I don't want to give you false hope, but if you're otherwise planning on taking hormones as part of your journey, you may find as others have that blocking testosterone, especially early into thinning, can reverse thinning. Because it's actually a testosterone problem.
But! There are lots of other side effects of this, so if it wasn't part of your plan, then nevermind!
And importantly, I'm sure you're lovely just the way you are, but I figured I'd mention it in case it's relevant.
