>Take dutasteride for balding>It decreases DHT by 90% >Immediately feel better, more efficient at work, less anxious, no brainfog, long-term depression goes away the day after, no longer get random panic attacks.Would i benefit from troonpills? I don't want to be a woman but i think my brain might be more attuned to low T.I'll ask a doctor. Could be unrelated terminal lucidity and i'm just a walking corpse rn.
>>42379101I got on fin while already considering transitioning to prevent further hair loss (and have actually gotten pretty significant regrowth) and mental difference was so pronounced I thought it might be placebo at first, but I think it actually just was the dht drop fr. I've also gotten to the point where I've gotten mild gyno from it and it feels like the most amazing shit ever and I'm making the moves I need to get on estrogen in the near future. My advice? Give yourself time to assess things, maybe talk to a therapist if you aren't already seeing one. I can't say for sure without knowing you, how you feel about your body and your personal history and such but I think a good filter question is this: how do you feel about male aging? When you see the older men around you or in your family how does picturing yourself becoming like them make you feel?
>>42379130The only way i'd be cool with "male aging" is if i had a career or a passion that consumes me wholly and leaves me no room to ever ponder my own physicality at all. I'm talking autistic laserfocus devotion to the point i could keep going at it ceaselessly day in day out and my mind was 90% occupied and not idle.Otherwise that'd make me pretty sad but i mean. Who wants to age? Not like women keep looking that good into their fifties anyway. Men mostly age like shit because they're expected to do all the worst jobs, most of them drink and smoke to cope with stress etc.Look at how zoomers are aging vs even the millenials.I dont know how much is that hate of aging vs hate of aging as a man.
>>42379130how long did it take for you to regrow hair on fin?
>>42379183women look like shit because of menopause and childbirth though, not aging. thats why they look so deflated whereas men keep it together even if they are hairy and bald.
>>42379183I mean if you have to conceive a world where you'd basically have to be distracted constantly to cope with being an old man because the very idea of it is distressing... Yeah I would consider looking into this stuff. Nobody wants to get old, sure, our bodies will always eventually change in ways that feel incongruent with what we once were but what you're describing sounds like it could be dysphoria. Again, I would highly recommend talking to a professional about this stuff if you're unsure. For me, the idea of getting older as a man was so distressful that conceptualizing the future and making plans felt so futile. I would never say I had real suicidal ideation in the sense I had a plan to take my own life but thinking about "me in the future" would invariably lead to just... Nothing. A black void. Since I've accepted that I'm trans and taken steps to ensure I can live that life I can actually "envision" that future me and even if she's not perfect or living the happiest life it's changed my ability to fight for myself and plan ahead drastically>>423792343-6 months for minor results, about a year for what I consider to be a noticeable and drastic change in thickness. My hairlines stick a little scuffed but it kinda always was. I kinda didn't think it was working for a while but the before and after is insane. Obviously as with any hormonal medicine, ymmv. For gyno I started feeling chest tenderness ~8 months I'd say. Started out as just very slight nip puffs but now there's some nice satisfying fullness to them but still small enough that nobody thinks I have boobs
>>42379311why dont women who dont birth look ugly still then
