We found it! The comic beep didin’t manage to remove the artist’s signature from! Thy are now all subject to advertising!
Chose to break 9yrs of relationship and engagement to become who I really am. That was a few years ago.
Things haven’t fully recovered yet but hope I can confidently say it was the best decision I made in the future
You got this, ignore the jackass. Life after transition remains difficult, but it’s so much better
That estrogen contained Rogaine.
Rogaine (Minoxidil) works by countering a type of male hormone that leads to hairloss, so lowering all of your make hormones in favor of lady hormones can have the same effect
That’s finasteride (blocking dht). Minoxidil is a vasodilator that increases follicle size. Otherwise what you wrote is basically correct
It does do that. I was thinning a little on top before I started and now I’ve got luscious locks!
When I’ve worked with older trans clients spironolactone seems to be what really kickstarts hair growth, especially if they get it in before alopecia really sets in and miniaturizes follicles in a way that can’t be reversed (at least with current medications, and barring surgical intervention). Estrogen too. Either way you’re reducing the amount of androgens. As a result it can be much more effective than rogaine, which works as a vasodilator to enlarge hair follicles (probably, mechanism isn’t fully understood) or finasteride/propecia, which works by blocking androgen DHT rather than reducing it.
I’m not familiar with research on efficacy for this purpose but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was more effective. While some people have dramatic responses to minoxidil and finasteride many have a more minor response or none at all, even.
Made me cry, thanks OP
This looks like it’s easier to switch team than to ask the girls out.
Looks like the comic person already had a relationship, but I don’t know if the comic is based on a real person
At first glance I thought (former) dude was talking to someone in a work break room, so I can see their confusion.
Maybe, but it wouldn’t be the same to have a relationship with a girl if you also were one, since I doubt changing teams also automatically changes your sexual preferences
