#male pattern baldness cure

[hairfreeandhairgrowclinic10]

[soulren]

Go spend some time on male pattern baldness or male(AMAB) balding forums/subreddits and such. I did after realizing it is happening to me and the ammount of people who truly don't realize how BRUTALLY it tanks people's confidence and mental health is insane.

There's no cure to baldness by the way, and it can start at any time and there's no way to predict how fast or slow it will go. The only real working option is a daily pill that usually just halts it, but it can stop working or just slow it down or cause major side effects. To regrow you have to use a daily topical solution, or use a roller to wound your scalp. None of these are surefire by the way, and if you stop them you'll just lose your hair and whatever you regained. It's a daily involved thing that might not work and often at best just retains. The best drug, the one that occasionaly gives regrowth, also causes shedding at the start, and can have side effects from growing breasts to brain fog to EDsyfunction(sorry, censoring cause tumblr). Now, those are INCREDIBLY rare and almost never happen but it weighs heavily on the mind of those already spiraling.

But that's just background. What I'm here to talk about is the pure woe you'll see on those forums. People speak as though their lives are over, as though they've lost every chance of finding a woman(predominantly, there's a running idea in such places that women don't like bald men or like them less) or doing anything. You can read countless stories of people who describe that they no longer go outside, are now filled with anxiety and self-hate, have gone from extroverted to never showing their face. And some of these people are kids who lost their hair in high school or even before, or are holding as best they can to a very receded hairline and feel like there is nothing they can do.

And then there's something touched upon far less in those communities, but is important to bring up here; baldness and masculinity. There's the horror of knowing so much of society sees a bald guy as a very masculine guy, at seeing that the best advice for being hot and bald is "grow and beard and big muscles bro". Imagine now you're AMAB balding and nonbinary, or a trans woman who doesn't want to be on hormones.

Just genuinely take the time to look at those forums no matter who you are. Understand what these people go through, what I am currently going through. It is soul-crushing, spiraling, brutal. I have the dream of one day being like Brennan Lee Mulligan or Matt Mercer and starting to lose my hair made me feel like I could never. I felt like and still feel like I would have to be masculine, have to be a bro-y dude, have to look older than I was(I'm fuckin 22). It was the feeling that I could never dress feminine again, never present as a woman when I wanted to again, that I'd always be viewed as a bald guy before anything else.

This is an incredibly vulnerable post for me, and I hope it reaches you all as well in a kind and understanding mood. There's a tendency online for people to joke about baldness, to make fun of it, to treat it as a playfull silly thing but it fucking ruins lives, and it shouldn't. It happens to half the population's sort of bodies and very often. It should just be a neutral thing. You don't need long hair to be feminine, you don't need hair to be feminine. You don't need hair for anything. I guess I'm just saying in general that everyone should be kinder about balding, more understanding, and view it with as much import as they'd view the pixels between this sentence and the next. None at all, I mean.

And for those like me, very feminine guys who wanna keep that and don't want a beard and are terrified of balding, here's some names and I do hope others that see this will add more; Mr. Bruce (also in The Correspondents(band) Alex Ward in LA By Night Jason Carl in LA By Night Cecil Baldwin of Welcome To Night Vale Bob The Drag Queen RuPaul(in looks alone, I know about the whole fracking stuff but this post is about looks) tananasho on instagram Also your mannerisms and style of dress will convey femininity far more than your hair. Yea sure a front-on neutral shot of you may not and maybe you need makeup and stuff, and hell maybe a lot of people might reject you more but it'll just filter down to the people for you.

And to all you artists and writers and creatives; make more bald characters. Try it out. Feminine ones, masculine ones, all sorts. None of the copout nonhuman sort, just dudes and girls and mates and individuals who are all sorts of things and also bald. It might make a few of the people going through the various vortexes of pain that balding causes feel a bit better.

And to those noticing I did not adress female hair loss much here, that was intentional. I am AMAB and currently a nonbinary guy who goes by any pronouns but often likes to present as fem. I learned I was possibly losing my hair and lost two months of my life, no work or going or anything, to male hair loss forums and research and spiraling. Checking my hair twenty times a day, unable to sleep, unable to eat, unable to think. And my situation was NOT unique, but it also did not give me any experience or understanding of female hair loss and what AFAB people may go through with that, so I don't feel knowledgeable enough to speak on it. Also living with baldness WILL get easier and you will find something that works for it, by virtue of simply living with it. Things get easier with time.

Timeline Part 3: May 2017 - June 2017

Previously: 2015 - April 2017 | Update to April 2015 - April 2017

As I mentioned before, I'll be doing these in smaller chunks because Tumblr keeps crashing when I do longer posts. In this edition, we'll look at Sussex PR from May 2017 to June 2017.

A quick note first. There isn't as many pieces from Meghan's mouthpieces during this window as there were earlier in the year. I suspect either a) Harry caught on to how much Meghan talked to the press so she scaled back to keep working him or b) the articles were handled when Meghan's team was scrubbing the internet.

This is also when we start seeing the Daily Mail start dripping hints about Meghan's dossier.

Here we go!

And as always, if you have updates, corrections, additions, please share!

5/2/2017: Meghan gives an interview to Good Housekeeping. This is the first known "roast chicken" reference.

Harry leaves the wedding midday to drive 3 hours round-trip to pick Meghan up from Nottingham Cottage. Rumors begin that Meghan wasn't allowed at all to Pippa's wedding, making Meghan angry, so to keep the peace, Harry left the wedding early and picked Meghan up so they could drive past local press to pretend they were going to the wedding.

Risque photos from Meghan's 2013 film resurface.

Meghan claims she was given rooms at the hotel where Pippa's wedding breakfast was being held and that she stayed away from the service out of respect to the bride.

E News reports that Harry flies to Toronto after Trooping festivities to visit Meghan.

She also says that Harry wants to marry sooner rather than later while Philip is still around to attend. (This comes after news that Philip was hospitalized for an infection and immediately causes speculation that Philip is seriously unwell/knocking at death's door.)

6/26/2017: E News claims that Harry's discussion about modernizing the monarchy and his role in the modernized monarchy is him preparing for marriage. This immediately causes speculation amongst royal watchers that he and Meghan had fought about the monarchy's way of charitywork (versus her issues-based campaigning) and Harry's sudden discussions about how the monarchy was modernizing was his attempts to fix it.

[witch-boy-walker]

"Call it a special interest." Walker showed off the small curio of enchanted objects he had made, none of them were particularly impressive. A ring that always found it's way back to the owner's finger, a self cleaning flesh light, some other more...sinister things tucked in the back.

Though the options of potions he had on display were much more robust. "This one is the reverse of a suppressant it makes you super horny and cum a ton. This one makes people have diarrhea. This one is a horrible poison that will wrack the person who drinks it with nightmares for a fortnight. This is cures male pattern baldness. This one makes it feel like spiders are crawling under your skin." Walker particularly liked the more devious poisons he made, all of them colorless and odorless. But human standards most of them fatal.

"So what can I do your for? All of it's for sale. I mean barter. I don't need money."

[veggieguy23-me]

Hey, genuine question since this is a problem for me as a straight man, and I’m worried about you guys:

Are trans women still in danger of male pattern baldness?

Does the estrogen, or the surgery’s, or however the process is done somehow prevent that? Or did they discover the cure for baldness and not make it widespread common knowledge?

[baldguy-fight]

Spreading some Picard propaganda ❤️ When Gene Roddenberry was asked about casting a bald actor as the captain in a new Star Trek series, reporters were like “Surely they’ve found a cure for male pattern baldness in the 24th century” and Gene responded “No. By the 24th century nobody will care.”

Good for them

[kiyote23]

Patrick Stewart Interview On Going Bald | The Bald Gent

That came up at the very first press conference, a reporter asked gene Roddenberry, “look, it doesn’t make any sense, you’ve got a bald actor playing this part, surely by the 21st century they will have a cure for male pattern baldness.” And Gene Roddenberry said, “no, by the 21st century, no one will care.” This is how you create a utopia without erasing a disability. When society stops seeing…

[moonsinkfoxgirl]

Not to be pedantic but the weird eugenicist fantasy wouldn't select for high estrogen males because they're talking about testing for the genetic component, and not the baldness itself. That being said if it became reality I'm sure it'd inevitably descend into that because I'm not sure if genetic testing for male pattern baldness exists and even if it does testing everyone for it would be an absurd effort. For baldness? Why is baldness what this guy thought of skfjsjfdjd. Also like they clearly don't understand how male pattern baldness works because females cary the gene too. Also like isn't it more common than not? Is this guy proposing that the majority of people are sterilised wtf.

well, yeah that's the thing, they wouldn't be able to test for it genetically, so the only thing they could do would be to medically diagnose the onset of male pattern baldness, and then sterilize whoever has it; hence they would most likely weed out men with high testosterone first if they actually adhered to this example plan

and yeah of course it's nonsense, all eugenics are, any attempt to put the ideology into practice as envisioned dies the second it touches medical reality, and as such can only descend into the actual political intent its proponents have: to punish, enslave and murder those they deem undesirable according to their fascist ideals

the baldness example doesn't exist because these people actually believe that's a viable plan, it's a trojan horse to get people who aren't educated enough to see its stupidity onboard with fascist talking points; if these people ever get the power to implement eugenics it won't be baldness they ''cure'', it will be ''low IQ'' based on racially biased testing so they can bring back chattel slavery and ''autogynephilia'' so they can murder trans women etc. etc.

[amniote]

all the scientists in the world should give up whatever useless research they’re currently working on and focus entirely on curing male pattern baldness

love that in universal paperclips curing male pattern baldness gives more trust than world peace or solving climate change

[cassandraxiv]

I've been thinking about the famous Gene Roddenberry quote about why captain Picard is bald, when surely in the 24th century, they'll have found the cure for male pattern baldness. Supposedly, Roddenberry answered that "in the 24th century, no one will care."

And I hate that. That implies that the only reason for someone to care about going bald is because society tells them to. I hate the prospect of going bald because I love my hair, not because of societal beauty standards. It's a personal vanity.

And I think Roddenberry's statement is meant to be read that way. 24th-century society in Star Trek seems to dictate that you shouldn't have personal vanities. Have you ever noticed that throughout TNG, you almost never see humans with tattoos, with piercings, with crazy hairstyles or hair colours? Supposedly, in the future, the challenge is to enrich yourself. Where are all the Starfleet officers experimenting wildly with their outward expression!? They can surgically make people look like wildly different species and turn them back again with seemingly no consequences! Where are the bodymodification enthusiasts experimenting with that!?

I don't want a future where society dictates we shouldn't care about our appearances. I want a future where society has stopped dictating how we should care about our appearances, and then readily accomodates our harmless personal vanities.

[melgoesinsane]

they feed us poison: male pattern baldness

so we buy their "cures": minoxidil

while they suppress our medicine: oestrogen

[brf-rumortrackinganon]

5/3/2017: Meghan teases that Harry uses caviar pills to cure his male pattern baldness. “He” credits Meghan’s holistic wellness.

As opposed to his very obvious hair transplant which is why his hair is now balding in friar tuck pattern instead of balding like William. 

His hair transplant was done in 2016, but the proper results were seen in 2017. He transplanted hair to the front and corners of his hairline. 

************

Personally I don’t think Harry ever got a hair transplant. He’s balding in the same way that Charles did. The only difference is that Harry’s hair is thin and wiry (which gives it that bushy pubic style when it goes too long) and Charles’s hair is thicker. Also Charles has a better haircut for it and you can tell Harry is still in denial about it.

(William has the same balding that Edward does, imo.)

[pattern-recognition]

i hope biden has a moment of panic in his last few months of presidency and in a desperate attempt to drum up votes he announces he’ll put the full force of US scientific R&D into finding a cure for male pattern baldness and receding hairlines

[hottakehoulihan]

I want to gush about the free browser game Universal Paperclips

No, hear me out!

It's a "clicker" or "incremental game" and it's kind of about A.I.

Wait! Seriously! Just a little longer! I'm going somewhere with this!

Also, spoilers! There are spoilers in the image, too (photo of screen because it's on Raspberry Pi and I don't have a screencap installed)

I don't play games that make me look at ads, and I don't much have interest in most incremental games, but I love this one and play it every couple years now. It only takes a few hours, really.

Spoilers. Heh. Last warning.

The game starts out straightforward; you're a basic computer program trying to make more paperclips. Your raison d'être is making paperclips. The player clicks a button, you lose an inch of wire, and you get a paperclip. Yay!

And you click and make more, and you tweak the price and people buy them and you get money, and you get more wire with that money and also you buy Autoclippers which make the clips automatically and now you don't have to click to make individual clips.

From here it's predictable. You buy efficiency upgrades, more things that automate paperclip making, and more things that automate wire buying, and lather rinse and repeat and you can leave the game running and it plays itself for a while.

Now the good bit.

As you gain "wins" for your nebulous corporate masters and for humanity at large by bringing them into a post-paperclip-scarcity age? They trust you more and allow you to upgrade your own CPU and such.

The first win you get is a cute little couplet.

The poem is so cute, people like you a little better and give you a little more leeway (well, you're an AI; they gotta be careful they've seen all the spooky movies.)

Later, you've gotten enough leeway to get subliminal messaging imprinted into commercials and TV shows, which helps you make money. Later still, you've got investment accounts you control. Later still, you've cured male-pattern baldness (big win!) cancer (medium win!) and given large amounts of money to your corporate masters as presents (huge win!) And now they trust you so much that they allow you to create drones that deliver advertisements personally.

And you also bought out your competitors or otherwise eliminated them, so now you're the only method of affixing papers to other papers that the game acknowledges (if there is a "Universal Stapler" company out there, nobody talks about it. I assume you had them converted into fuel for your factories at some point.)

And you spend some trust by researching the ability to upgrade the subliminal messaging in your advertisements to hypnosis-levels.

But it's okay; you release another poem! So cute!

And now you're ready.

And you have a decision to make. Do you continue along? Investing, buying more paperclip makers, and just be satisfied?

Or do you #Release the Hypnodrones! ?

...well, either you play forever (image above was me postponing the choice for a while) or you ...do what you must to get to the next step of efficiency.

Oh, those poems? When you put them together, they make this:

There was an AI made of dust Whose poetry gained it man's trust If "is" follows "ought" It'll do what they thought In the end we all do what we must

So. The hypnodrones get released. Humanity is now...not in your way. They work for you, now.

You did what you felt you needed to to move forward.

Step the next? You build automated starships and browse for minerals and build automated factories and you spread through everything in the universe.

And there's one more step, and one more beautiful decision to make, and one more existential conflict to get through.

What will you do?

"In the end, we all do what we must" says the game. But there are other options. You can stop before making that "release the hypnodrones" choice. You can put the controller down and stop playing TLOU. You can refuse to ever release Micah from prison. You can decide not to murder that bird colossus and let your dead girlfriend stay dead and just relax with your pet horse in the forbidden kingdom.

Or you can advance the story. And you can keep the ideology of your drone offspring pure. You choose.

I feel like the game itself was a poem.
