The gay aunt is transition goals for me. Too bad I'm going to have to spend a lot of money to have a chance of growing back enough hair to make that hair style viable.

I'm a bit late to the conversation, but I've heard dermarollers + rogaine/topical minoxidil can help! Both are over-the-counter. Might be worth talking to a dermatologist about.

Edit: also enby auntcle is kind of a transition goal for me too lol

I've been using minoxidil and finasteride on and off for some years (on and off roughly correlating to hopeful and hopeless periods of mental health).

I've been informed by some hair loss people that at this stage they don't think there's any point wasting money on PRP or LLLT or anything like that, but I did recently buy a derma roller anyway, since they're cheap and one can always hope for a miracle.

I think I'll try to stick with a "delulu is the solulu" outlook until I've at least been on full dose HRT for a year or so and then cut my losses.

Good luck! I've heard dermarollers are most effective with minoxidil but can have some effect on their own. Just be aware that it can take a while.
