      I started balding at 24.

      I hate it, but over the counter stuff hasn’t worked, and I can’t justify spending a lot of money on hair plugs just to make me feel better.

      My wedding is this month, after that I’m just going full Mr clean.

      I’m going to miss my hair.

        Fellow baldy here. I put it off for so long, but going full-shave is great. I was so nervous about doing it but now I regret not doing it 10 years sooner!

          Same. It does make me look like a completely different person though. And there are a few months at the beginning where you may have a very obvious tan line, but that will go away.

          I was the opposite, I accepted going bald early on and went full-shave for a few years. When it grew back a bit everyone said it looks way better, and I regret spending most of my 30s with a shaved head.

      Yeah I always cringe when I see the “hair transplants are gender affirming care” meme. It’s so embarrassing when someone on your side of the argument says something so dumb. Going bald isn’t feminine?

        In this context I thought it was gender affirming as in “something that alleviates dysphoria” not as something specific to one end of the binary.

            1. Why couldn’t it?

            2. I said I spoke in general not about one specific end of the gender binary so I don’t understand why we’re restricting the subject to men.
