#bald and feminine

[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.

I don’t even fuck with Anne Rice as a writer but even I can respect that she wrote the book as a way to deal her grief as a mother and used the character of Louis as a conduit for her feelings of motherhood and the loss of a child so it’s insane to me that these cunty mother Lestat bitches who worship her books refuse to respect what was an essential aspect of her writing. Like I don’t even respect her as a person but I do respect her grief in losing her daughter and what the story was meant to help her deal with. I truly do not care if your mom was mean like Lestat like your fucking childhood is not the story we’re talking about.

And in the show’s context where they’ve made Lestat even more of a patriarch, enhanced his powers and made him 200 years older, put him in the most father knows best situations known to man, made him wear like 4 different wifebeaters, and explicitly called Louis the wife multiple times.. and yet you’re still that dumb, racist or both. I have no clue if this cunty mother shit was a thing before the show but it sounds an awful lot like they became louder and more obnoxious once Louis was black.

#iwtv #interview with the vampire #waiting for the day when lestat goes bald so these people stfu #also if you cannot emphathize with black characters and have to project your own femininity onto the white patriarch abuser #maybe this adaptation isn’t for you #maybe you need to stick to white Louis in the books #since you’re incapable of engaging with black characters except in a superficial manner #I have more respect for book only fans at this point #at these they are self aware enough to not inflict us with their bad show takes

yknow i think ive realized the underlying reason why i always sorta err away from o!ranboo having tits to signify that Shes Girl Now is just that this fandom really needs to expand its perception of trans women beyond boobs long hair and feminine clothing. hell this kind of happens even with like.. fem ocs made in the context of mcyt, or even within [shudders] genderbend work. ive noticed it mainly with like, cranboo moms or even just girl family members to cranboo/oranboo in general where people seem like.. afraid to depict women as. not conventionally attractive, and it has to be clear that nonhumans are women by Human Standards through what us as humans believe are signifiers of gender

and sure theres plenty of people who will talk about how boobs arent inherently gendered, how its important for transmasc fans to see men with boobs so that thats normalized but like. idk youd think maybe in a fandom thatll keep talking about being diverse and shit theyd care to stop thinking of signifiers of womanhood being.. skirts/dresses long wavy hair and tits even on characters who have no reason to have tits. like didnt yall learn anything from the criticisms of movies that went "this one has a pink bow so its a Girl"

#mask mews #probably needed disclaimer that i dont think. this is a moral issue. or whatever #its just a personal issue based off a pattern i noticed #have fun with designs just.. idk. i think theres some worth in maybe. trying to diversify how you perceive and depict women..? #just thinking out loud etc etc #i dont think im necessarily completely exempt from this ive noticed this kind of habit in my own work #but i wanna move on from it #and itd be nice to see others try to change it up too #draw oranboo with short hair still asserting herself as a princess #make one of cranboos moms bald and average looking. draw transfem ctommy in clothing she would wear even pre transition #etc etc #dont completely move away from femininity because thats still important especially when it comes to gender presentation #just like.. have fun with what exactly femininity Means
