Hair loss :c
Hi! I’m gonna have a little dysphoric rant here cause I don’t really have anyone in my life to say any of this too
So I’m really early in figuring out how I feel about my gender, I’ve had a close friend try out they/them pronouns with me as an experiment and it made me feel good in a way I can’t really describe.
I’m AMAB and struggling with just having a male body. Primarily right now I’m suffering hair loss, not crazy but there’s defs a balding spot on my crown and thinning on my temples. A lot of the discourse among men is to just “shave it off” but the idea of being bald makes me really sad.
Ive always have long hair and I do now, I like it. It makes me feel nice and androgynous. I’d be happy to cut it a little shorter, I’ve got kind of a “punk” vibe, I guess?? I wear a lot of denim and band shirts. I was thinking of maybe doing a half shaved look but the thinning at the temples might make it look really weird. I dunno, I guess I’m just disheartened, I’ve discovered and accepted this part of myself despite the homo/transphobic upbringing but now I feel more trapped in my body than ever.
This is disjointed, but I guess I’m just trying to get it out. I keep going through hair loss treatment and it all seems so snake oil-esque, predatory
*sigh* anyone have any suggestions for hair styles that could work for thinning hair that isn’t shaved? If not I guess just some advice for coping with your hormones demolishing your confidence
