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.

      Emotion of the day

      By Heather Shay · Posted

      Tension is not a well-understood psychological state. It can be both positive and negative, much like stress itself. A 2015 research paper on the theoretical framework of tension notes it's an anticipatory emotional state which tends to be associated with: conflict.

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      OK Governor Signs School Bathroom Bill Into Law

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      Acceptance

      By Vidanjali · Posted

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.
