First, it started with people saying cis women getting breast implants was gender-affirming surgery and at least that kinda made sense on the very surface level. Now people are claiming all plastic surgeries are gender-affirming which made me check whether this was some orchestrated trolling effort. Doesn't seem like it.

Idk if its about attraction per se, rather that it strays from ideal, and can cause emotional discomfort. emasculation is the act or process of removing or denying masculinity, which balding can be seen as a signifier of even though it's ultimately just another hormonal physiology expression
I guess it's culture specific, that's why I'm not getting it.
Was interesting to read there's no distinction between handsome/beautiful. I can see how that could flatten the peaks and troughs in the "maleness" and "femaleness" of things, ergo bald is just another expression of the former and not seen as detriment
