  1. #GiftLink: "#Finasteride might be the ultimate drug for a generation of young men who have never been more focused on optimizing their #looks — and yet have never been less connected, romantically or socially. #Socialmedia not only feeds men self-improvement content on their phones but also encourages them to curate images of themselves for others to scrutinize.

    Psychologists have known for years that women who are especially preoccupied with their #physicalappearance tend to have more difficulty with anxiety and #sexualsatisfaction. “Women have had this kind of thing to deal with for so many years,” said Ryan, one of the friends in Elliot Connors’s group chat. “While it’s awful that this is now happening to men, there is also a kind of a poetic justice to it.”"

  9. This is a terrifying story from #GQ about #finasteride , a drug prescribed for hair loss that has insane side effects that aren’t on the warning label, and should be.

    As an aside, I know the pressure on men to be attractive, while not the universal standard applied to women, is still a nightmarish set of expectations, set by unrealistic humans.

    And while I would not presume to speak for all women, I can tell you that as a discerning woman, were I picking escorts for the orgy, the smoothness of pate would not be a deciding factor. (Let us bow our heads in appreciation of Madeline Khan. Yes, yes, yes, no, no, no, YES!)

    #Bald is sexy as fuck when people own it. Don’t let snake oil salesmen tell you any different.

  11. An analytical review of eight studies of the association between the hair loss drug finasteride and neuropsychiatric side effects concludes that there is strong evidence for causality, with consequences including depression and suicide.

  12. Just had my third appointment with psytrans (my gender-clinic) and it seems that the likely thing is that I may end up with a diagnosis from them by the 2nd of February. They will then refer me to an independent psychologist who has to confirm that which may involve another month of waiting for an appointment. After that we would look for a hospital to start #HRT

    So in short this sounds like there’ll be about two more months until I can start HRT officially. 😊︎

    On the other hand #GenderGP should now send me a prescription for #Finasteride and #Estrogen any day now, so if that works I could start a bit early… 😈​
