  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.

  10. #Finasteride may be the best kept secret of #endochrinology. Literally blocks the young-man hormones from becoming the old-man hormones.

  11. CW: finasteride & suicide in psychology journal

    #hairloss drug #finasteride which most men take to restore hair has been linked to suicide c/o @psychbot

  12. 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.

  14. I think Finasteride is a pretty cool drug. It makes your body-hair fall out and doesn't afraid of anything.

  19. Earlier I got an ad for chewable #minoxidil and #finasteride from a well-known hair loss prevention company that only markets toward men, completely ignoring everyone else that could benefit. I wonder how that would taste, probably not very good unless it's cherry or grape flavored like children's #Tylenol or something. Wonder why they're doing chewable minoxidil too, that's usually for heart stuff.

  20. There is this talk about #depression resulting from the use of 5α-reductase inhibitors (aka #Finasteride and #Dutasteride), which is of course a serious concern, but the studies that DIYHRT.market links are both about the use by #cis men not about the use by #trans women, which makes me question to what extend the results are applicable to us:

    “ The findings support a growing impression that finasteride is associated with adverse psychiatric effects that can persist in association with sexual dysfunction after discontinuing finasteride treatment. ” — pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/338145

    I mean: If the reason for depression is a reduction in sexual function, than I wonder whether this is just a case of #cissies wanting to top in penetrative sex or are unhappy about a low sex-drive, the former of which is at least for me not really all that much of a concern, whereas the later is a feature… And I figure there might be quite a few other #transfem s sharing those sentiments…

  21. 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… 😈​

  22. Anyone wondering if #finasteride works for #hairloss .. it definitely does for me! I still have the same long hair I have in my pfp here (longer now) .. if I tie that in a ponytail this is how much new, short hair I have currently.. (10 months on fin) My hairline has moved forwards a couple of cm, and is still filling out further around the temples. Was definitely worth trying.

    My hair never used to be curly though, so that’s new. 😆

  23. 1/ The prescription drug #Vioxx, indicated mainly for arthritis, was withdrawn from the market in 2004 due to how it induced cardiovascular events in many patients. A few years before that, the “miracle” diet drug Fen-phen was pulled because of some devastating side effects, too.

    Ever since then I’ve wondered about what other risky drugs are still out there and available. One I’ve thought about is #finasteride, marketed as Proscar and Propecia and now trivially available via startups like Hims.

  24. They should have called it minasteride so you can take finasteride with minasteride

  25. I should just start taking estrogen to alleviate/repair my baldness cause TIL that is one effect. But I don't get then how finasteride comes into play... :blobcatthink:
