I'm sorry, Amy. I know you're very distressed. Not to fear, girl. Things are not as dire as they might seem.

Have you talked with a dermatologist about treatment options? Rogaine, minoxidil, all that kind of stuff. Or perhaps you're suffering from a condition not related to male pattern baldness. You're pretty young to have lost so much. You won't know until you see a specialist.

The most inexpensive and convenient option is obviously a wig. They can be human hair or synthetic, good quality or bad, short or long. I spent just over $100 on a high quality mono filament wig, and I'm complimented on how natural it looks all the time. My HRT doc even thought it was my real hair, and she's trans!

Hair implants are the third option, but they are very expensive, and if you had to do your entire head, it would cost a dang fortune.

I hope that helps, hon.

Hi Amy,

In the USA, not sure about the UK, minoxidil can be purchased without a prescription. I've no experience with it, but it would be worth trying. Can you do that?

Love, Kat

Hi Amy,

I'm so sorry to hear that finances are bad. In times like this, it's better to focus further down the road: what can be done to get the money to do the things required to make your life better? Keep working to that goal, it will get better!

Love, Kat

Amy, I completely hear you on this, but I think that if you're not transitioned, you can probably get a job 'stealth'-like as a man, and while that would be awful temporarily, you could maybe save enough money so that you could do this. I know you're MTF, but if you can pass as a man, then having a shaved head isn't as unusual. If that doesn't work for you, could you find a pretty hat to wear? Something like this, maybe.

I'm sorry you're having to be dealing with this though :(

I know how you feel Amy I've been losing my hair for years now.

Have you tried seeing a different doctor? There's nothing else I can think to suggest I'm afraid.

      As I read this one, it is only for school bathrooms.  I hope he has signed a bill to triple the number of "security monitors" on the campuses and up their pay considerably, not to mention some other costly stuff.  Only way is for every school employee, to know the birth certificate information of each student by memory which will require 3 additional months of salary for them all.  It appears the enforcement relies on parental reports obtained from their children which opens so much up.  The kids will end up ALL with wet or soiled underwear while the parents go at each other with weapons over "family honor" over false calls based on childish name calling.

      I agree. This law is impractical and impossible to evenly enforce without such ridiculous measures in place. What it will do is stigmatize the trans community in Oklahoma and nothing more but ofc, that’s the only point of it.   If I was in that state and needed a restroom, there’s no chance I’d ever step foot in the men’s restroom because of some law. I know I’m not alone in that thinking. This law won’t stand the test of time.

      I asked AI to create an image of myself 30 years younger based off my avatar on another site and this was the result:     Wow! I am amazed how close it got my 30 year old face!

      Quite true.  The amusing thing about opposites is how similar they can be.   My family left Greece because of the conflict between the communists and the militarists/fascists.

      This wouldn't even be a problem if they would just leave us alone.  It is a no-brainer.

      OMG.  I'm glad it wasn't worse, and you were able to get on it quickly.  Lots of blood can be scary.

      Like I said, I'm no tankie, but I do see a world of difference between Joseph Stalin and Bernie Sanders.   If the point is not wanting 'government control' the Right is pretty good at that themselves - as they've been demonstrating lately. This stuff gets complicated.

      So, I am curious. Is the Governor going to mandate vaginal or penile recognition photos before one enters the restroom? Considering the Governor has no balls to do the right thing, will he have to pee against a tree outside? Inquiring minds would like to know. I love it when the job recruiters contact me about the wonderful jobs available in Oklahoma. It is so much fun telling them there is no way I will ever go to Oklahoma. When there are no workers, then they can shutter the place.

      Ngl, probably Sonic the Hedgehog, the Beatles, or the Monkees. Those are the three subjects I know the most about so I could drop hours of info on them.

      Isaac Asimov, Albert Einstein and Robert Kennedy, in that order.

      Thank you! I'm out of coffee so I have been drinking hot tea instead. Looking forward to the 1st. It's crazy that we are almost in May. This year has flown by really quick! Good to hear that y'all got to sleep in. Hope you have a good weekend too!

      It's nice to care about others but you need to live your life as you please. No one be your only source of happiness. Love yourself and don't look back. I lost over 40 family members it hurts but apparently, they didn't truly love me. True love will always be there through the thick and thin. I can honestly say that HRT has made me think in ways that I never thought I would. I get myself some shoes or clothes every month because retail therapy not only helps but it is a reward to myself to show love. I have over 100 dresses. I have a whole walk-in-closet full of clothes and 67 pairs of shoes. I love who I am. I was born in 84 so not all people in the 80's think that way. As far as the name just take your time and be happy with it. I knew I loved the name Ashley. Take care and welcome!
