so i've thought about getting a script as a sort of one-two punch. one, to save my thinning hair so it can still look cute. two, the side effects would be scary if they weren't basically just "ooops you transed yourself"

ohnoes oh noes... what ever will i do if i grow boobies and my body hair thins

but seriously, some of the side effects (depression) I thought were maybe from cis men getting gender dysphoria but seems even transfemmes have experienced it. at least reading some reddit posts

anyone had experience with this? i'm hoping it can be a sort of gateway to everything else. dip my toes in the hormone adjustments

and minoxidil has never seemed to work for me. i know i won't get my hair line back but i'm cool with that.

    i’m cis but i just wanted to add to this and say i’ve been seeing a lot of really good results from topical finesteride with zero side effects. i’ve been on it for about 9ish months and my hair is a lot thicker and i think my hairline might’ve grown back just a very tiny bit. minoxidil didn’t do much for me either, but as soon as i got off of it my hair immediately seemed worse (and it gave me black circles around my eyes), so i got a lower dose of that with my topical finesteride and those went away.
