    I’m 32 years old and at about a 5 on the Norwood scale and I started taking minoxidil and finasteride, and reaching out to Planned Parenthood to talk about getting on E, all because I saw pictures of people who were older and balder than me when they started transitioning and they’re beautiful.

    There is still time.

      How do you fix bald(ing)? Wigs suck.

          I don’t have T anymore so the hair loss has stopped, but what’s gone ain’t coming back. I tried Minoxidil and the results weren’t worth the hassle.

          I’m already too far gone for a scalp advancement, and hair transplant is beyond my means. Plus the outcomes seem to vary depending on how good a surgeon you can afford, putting it further out of reach.

          Thanks nonetheless. Just felt like venting. Hair sucks, both in its paucity and in its excess.
