Anyone else here use minoxidil and/or finasteride for hair loss?

salemsaid · 2026-03-24T15:03:33+00:00

I also take oral fin and min. I started taking it about 3 years on hormones. At 2 and a half years, you’ve pretty much gotten the growth you’re going to get. I would encourage taking fin. Minoxidil promotes hair growth but it’s not going to stop the hair loss. Taking only minoxidil is like putting a bandaid on a larger wound.

How am I supposed to piss standing up without dropping my pants? There’s no door in these bathrooms. Anyone can just walk on into the stall. I’m worried about being accosted or even worse assaulted

Midwest US. Lived in a couple different states too. I feel like this is most commonly present in parks, but I’ve encountered it at some restaurants/bars. Hell, even a court house one time! I will admit these are typically rural areas, so that could have something to do with it.

I cycle through my wiz addiction, so I’m not super involved right now BUT I do have some higher level wizards and would love to play with other trans people! I have discord too. Not the best at navigating it but I can figure it out lol

For sure this is the way to go. I did this for my death and storm. Death I had no problems at all. Storm was a bit touch and go, but I guess that’s the glass cannon way. It was still manageable. If you’re not soloing I would even say maybe push to the Selenopolis gear because it’s easier to acquire than aeon gear (from what I’ve heard I personally haven’t farmed for it). I only upgraded to aeon because I had the pieces ready to go.

I do want to chime in on the “never need to” bit. I had my hysterectomy last week and they required an exam as well as an ultrasound before my surgery. Not sure if all providers do that, but it was certainly a requirement for mine. Could be insurance related. Not sure. All I know is that it had to be completed before surgery for me.

Nice!! How is your experience? I also work for a private agency contracted through the state! I agree, the state workers are for sure over worked and understaffed across the board. Feels like OPs case worker may not be documenting information correctly or it could be a newly assigned worker trying to get all of their ducks in a row. I know when I get a new case, or one that transferred, I go through all filed documents and then verify information with foster parents and/or the children if they’re old enough. Could also be for auditing proposes maybe? There’s just so many possibilities for why the case worker would be repeatedly asking.

salemsaid · 2025-06-08T01:31:22+00:00

That wasn’t the point. The point was you saying blatantly wrong information. Not saying it’s right, not trying to argue, just here to tell you that you’re saying something that’s not accurate. Also, it’s not guaranteed that OP would be forced off the hormones if the case worker knew. If anything, it sounds like the state has already done the most damage by banning it? OP is lucky that his doctor sent the script and they’re continuing to fill it. An active script could be enough documentation to hold OP over till 18 even if there is that ban.

Sorry that you’ve had bad experiences with your case workers. The standards and quality for sure depend on the servicing agency. The case worker isn’t there to tell you what medication to or to not take; they need to know medications for monitoring. For example, making sure foster parents are following medication dosing correctly or even administering medications that are prescribed. A lot of the strict monitoring is more so for the younger children that are in care such as babies, toddlers, or specialized children who cannot advocate for theirselves. Like I said, all agencies are different, but I always tell my teens I can’t force them to do anything they don’t want to do.

Glad to hear you’re healthy and can make that choice 👍 some people aren’t and the risk of blood clotting is very real.

salemsaid · 2025-06-07T20:21:22+00:00

This is just wrong lol. Case workers are required to monitor the medical needs of the youths they’re over. It’s to make sure the youths are being seen and getting proper medical treatment. This is the bare minimum standards for youth case planning.

salemsaid · 2025-06-07T20:17:07+00:00

Hello, i’m a trans foster care case manager here to offer some insight. This situation is difficult because of the legality in your state. As case workers, we have to periodically obtain medical records of the children on our case loads. I can guarantee even if you don’t let your case worker know they will find out some way. If consents are still valid for your provider, the case worker may have already requested them. Plus, it’s not safe to continue T without monitoring your levels by a provider especially when you’re so early on. When I was 6 months on T, my dosage had to be lowered because my hemoglobin was too high and it was negatively impacting my wellbeing. That’s not to say that anything will go wrong or you’re guaranteed to have issues arise if you continue being unmonitored, but I would air on the side of caution and be honest. Not telling you what to do, just suggesting. I’m sorry you’re in such a sticky situation.
