Looking for participants for hair loss research
Hello everybody, my name's Alek, and I'm an undergraduate sociology major at the University of the Fraser Valley in BC, Canada. I'm conducting the capstone research project for my degree into the experiences of young males who are dealing with hair loss. Specifically, I'm examining how hair loss affects conceptions of identity and masculinity, and to what extent the stigma of hair loss influences social interactions.
I'm looking for potential participants for this study who are between 18-30 years old and feel that they are experiencing some form of hair loss. If this sounds like something you might be interested doing, please PM me and I can give you more info. Also, feel free to post any stories, experiences or questions here as well!

Oh look I could get in on one of those experimental drugs! :D
Whelp, there goes that idea.
I guess you actually gotta be a cis or trans guy, rather than a trans woman for this study haha. Hair loss has been fucking over my feminity tbh. I pretty much wear a wig everywhere at the moment. But I don't care much about masculinity or a male identity.
Oh sweet Moses...
Is there a problem?

Out of interest... why does this happen?
That is simply not true.
I've been on HRT for a year and a half nwo. And minoxidil for most of that (I've been slacking a bit). Most of it did indeed regrow, but I'm not all there yet. My estrogen levels are still off (not female reference levels).
I'm well aware MtF HRT helps regrow hair. I have my entire regimen in my flair. As is usual for hairloss, even HRT isn't a guarantee that it all will grow back.
