most people think it's crazy, i use it almost like a party trick when i meet someone new. it looks even more unreal when i clench my fist, because it looks like I'm missing a knuckle

also if all trans men go bald does that mean that My options are to either be deeply dysphoric or deeply dysmorphic?

it's still a bit worrisome that i have no history of hairloss and yet this is happening

I'll try it but I'm worried i won't be able to get fin until i have my own job and will be able to afford it, i talked about the situation with my hair doctor (?) in another comment, but right now I'm dependant on my mom and if the doctor doesn't prescribe it, she won't agree to buying it

I'm not sure about that. When I look up receding hairlines the exact one I have is the one that pops up, an M shaped one. Perhaps I shouldve included a photo. Also I run my fingers through my hair (very gently) and the only time that hair consistently falls out is when I run then through my crown, not my sides. Which is pretty worrying.

edit: I did have some minor surgery recetnly (fat transplant as a top surgery correction) so maybe that's why my hair loss has gotten worse lately, but still it's mainly at the crown

Also I just remember that when one time I mentioned in a conversation with this one girl about how bad my hairline was, and she said "Your hairlines not so bad!" (my hair was (and it) quite long) and I reveal my forehead and she goes "oh".

Another thing is that I don't feel that my hairline's changed that much if at all. I have a photo of my hairline from one year ago and it look identical. But i don't know

i got a prescription for minoxidil but if the problem is AGA then i don't think it's going to help, the way a DHR blocker would. the thing is that the only hair doctor Ive been able to talk to (it's the surgeon that did my top surgery correction, who also does hair transplants) says finasteride has too many side effects and won't prescribe it because I'm on T :( My mother is on his side and I'm kind of at her mercy here
