/ftm/ - Female-to-Male

I hear it's more likely than cis men, but that it depends on the genes on your mother's side. Look at your grandpa for an idea of how it'll go. Still, you get used to it. Lots of guys have to deal with it sooner or later.

T just enables the ability of a specific set of genes which make you bald.

Testosterone does not work that way that a lifetime of T makes you bald because 3 years of T gives you a receding hairline.

Men simply have different hairlines than women because of testosterone, hence hair loss during cis male puberty and FTMs going on T.

But baldness depends on your genes, just like cis men.

But if baldness outweights the positive changes of T, is it really for you? Do you want to go on it to lessen dysphoria or because other FTM people go on it?

>more likely than cis men

Any studies to back this up?

>Does T seriously cause hair loss or hairline recession most of the time?

It always does appear to at least masculinise the hairline after some time. This is just what I've seen. Continuing recession or baldness though? It depends on a number of things, mostly genetic, and varies GREATLY from person to person. You may get an idea from looking at family members - your mum's side especially.

It might be because the amount of testosterone that trans-men are constantly given is higher then cis men, and the gene for hair loss is greatly affected by your levels of testosterone.
