  1. Un essai clinique sur l'utilisation du minoxidil pour l'augmentation de la pilosité faciale chez des personnes transmascs[1]

    J'en parlais plus haut, le minoxidil peut être appliqué sur le visage pour booster la pilosité faciale (ça marcherait probablement sur n'importe quelle partie du corps d'ailleurs) ; on le savait plus ou moins déjà mais maintenant on a un essai méthodologiquement assez robuste qui le montre (essai randomisé en double aveugle, n=34, minox 3%, 12 semaines).

    Avant cet essai, on avait notamment eu un essai assez similaire chez des hommes cis[2] (essai randomisé en double aveugle, n=23, minox 3%, 16 semaines) et une étude (non-randomisée mais avec contrôle, n=16, minox 2%, 6 mois) chez des personnes transmasc[3] (et quelques case reports)

    Quelques points intéressants de l'essai récent : le minoxidil a augmenté la densité des poils mais aussi leur diamètre (donc poils plus larges), donnant globalement une pilosité faciale plus fournie selon diverses mesures. Il a donné un effet significativement différent du placebo à partir de 2 mois d'utilisation (donc c'est efficace relativement rapidement).
    Il a été très bien toléré, avec peu d'effets secondaires (et autant dans les deux groupes), pas d'effets systémiques et pas d'augmentation de la tension. Bref c'est cool.

    Pour info, en France, le minoxidil topique est disponible en pharmacie/sur internet sans ordonnance. On a pas de 3% mais le 5% est approprié à la place, c'est pas très cher (qqs €/mois). C'est aussi efficace (mais peut-être pas autant) pour les personnes pas sous T, si jamais !

  2. I think I'd make a great 8-Bit villain, especially with my scale taking up so many screens!

  4. The day closed with two competitions, starting with the Men's Best Beard and Mustache contest. This young man won first place. He was a local who said he played old time fiddle; I think I saw him that the Baltimore Old Time Music Festival a few months back but am not sure. He seems a little embarrassed.

    *Don't.* Just don't.

    Kthx.

  6. I long to be able to touch my face without feeling dysphoric

    It’s been 4.5 years since my last electro session, but I seem to have been abandoned

    Every so often I try to find out what’s happening, without success

    The whole hair-removal process should have taken about 10 years, but I started 7 years ago and still have 7.5 years or so to go

    If my skin’s still smooth by then I’ll be very lucky 🙁

    Also, I’m not sure I can bear to go back to having to grow facial hair so it can be removed

  8. CW: Sensory issues involving facial hair that could be triggering

    I really need to shave my face again soon, I haven't for a while since I just haven't had the energy to do so (it's not that bad) but it's starting to give me sensory issues when drinking water.

  9. I waste so much time #shaving, I wish I didn't grow #FacialHair. I don't look good with it and it's just not my thing. On a #sensory level it bothers me when I touch it in specific ways when touching my face, too.
