    Be as gay as you want, but you kick open the door to my house like that and you’re gonna have some problems.

    The gay aunt is transition goals for me. Too bad I’m going to have to spend a lot of money to have a chance of growing back enough hair to make that hair style viable.

      I’m a bit late to the conversation, but I’ve heard dermarollers + rogaine/topical minoxidil can help! Both are over-the-counter. Might be worth talking to a dermatologist about.

      Edit: also enby auntcle is kind of a transition goal for me too lol

        I’ve been using minoxidil and finasteride on and off for some years (on and off roughly correlating to hopeful and hopeless periods of mental health).

        I’ve been informed by some hair loss people that at this stage they don’t think there’s any point wasting money on PRP or LLLT or anything like that, but I did recently buy a derma roller anyway, since they’re cheap and one can always hope for a miracle.

        I think I’ll try to stick with a “delulu is the solulu” outlook until I’ve at least been on full dose HRT for a year or so and then cut my losses.

            Sorry, I just prefer to temper expectations about hrt. Not only are there things it cannot do, there are things it might not do. While some people do see the maximum potential in different areas, your mileage will vary. It can Thanos snap away problems, but probably not all of them, and often only partially.

            That said, for anyone with significant testosterone in their system who wants to avoid pattern baldness, start DHT blockers asap. Testosterone itself doesn’t cause baldness, it causes it by converting into DHT. A ton of guys take it, and most don’t have significant issues.

            This means that trans women with higher levels of t can still see hair loss. If you’re on a weaker anti-androgen like spironolactone and not injecting estrogen, you might want to supplement with a DHT blocker.

      It looks like it’s done in a comic book style. Reverse image searches show some Twitter and Tumblr posts indicating it’s Kate Kane looking for Tim Drake (Batwoman and Robin from the Batman franchise), but I’m not sure if this is an actual page from the comic or just fanart.

      I was thinking the same thing but can’t figure out what I’m thinking of.

      Edit. I think its Pathfinder 1 character artwork
