    Reminder that trans women, genetically, are more likely to bald younger (later teens - early 20s) because we are sensitive to DHT and there is overlap, so yes a lot of otherwise passoids are probably norwood 2 or even further. No this is not a cope, I regrew my hairline to full. No what I just said was not meant as a bragpost, it could happen to you too.

        minoxidil probably help a LOT just please don’t get it on your face. That’s why I didn’t use it much.

      you really don’t… i was on a busy, well lit bar street at night last weekend by myself on a walk and a woman yelled really loud half a block away for me to put on clothes bc it’s winter, but i was just wearing a sweatshirt and shorts in 52F weather. even that scared me bc i had no idea if she was with guys who would hurt me bc I was too scared to turn around if I spoke back and got clocked. It makes you feel so powerless, gross, and angry even when it’s not directly threatening…

      i know some people refer to it as “ewphoria”, and yeah I get the initial desire of thinking it would be another thing affirming despite the ick, but that fades so quickly once you realize it means someone is watching you and willing to interrupt your peace for something you have no control over…
