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.

making a positivity post because i really need some of this today. hair loss is natural, hair loss is a neutral trait. Trans people who are going through pattern baldness are hot and sexy, we are doing our best and we are cool and funny and hot. you are not lesser for losing hair, people will still find you attractive and want to be around you with hair loss or not. you are hot shit dont let a lil bald spot stand in your way!

saitama who has to so gently fuck and/or make love to you because if he were to so much as thrust too hard he’d mostly likely break your spine. so he’ll carefully caress you, making the hairs on your body stand up and he’ll grind up into you, his hips against your thighs, hitting your spot just right.

actually the best kind of character design is when a character has traditionally masculine traits (body hair, square face, big muscles etc) or is otherwise androgynous/nonhuman but is a girl and uses she/her pronouns

from “Buzz Cut” by Lucy Marrero
published in Visible: A Femmethology, Volume 2, ed. Jennifer Clare Burke (2009)
excerpt 1:
When I was pregnant with my first child—the daughter I placed for adoption—I half-joked about shaving my head. Pregnant and bald: it seemed so bold, so fuck-you. I tasted the thought of who I might be: strong and brave enough to walk tall through any door. Beautiful, capable.
Although I didn’t shave my head then, the tantalizing idea of this bold, bald-headed self so willing to take crazy risks remained within me as I sleepwalked throughout the remaining years of “straight” life. I tucked her away in an imaginary dollhouse life, setting her up in a pink convertible beside a dashing butch as they headed to dinner with friends who cherished her. For years, that was the only place this bald-headed little self remained in that dollhouse world. It seemed like the only place for such a bold self to be happy.
excerpt 2:
Every day I observe how the contradiction of my “straightness” and “whiteness” collide with the reality of my queerness and latinidad in others’ minds. They reveal their confusion in so many ways, sometimes even saying outright, “I just don’t see how you can be a person of color,” or “But you don’t look like a lesbian!”
Not being seen, especially as a femme, can be painful. My journey from that bold, bald-headed self in my imagination into its living authentic embodiment has been intensely painful at times. I had not anticipated that the process of becoming me would be facilitated most powerfully in exquisite heartbreak.
Yet, holding the contradictions of who I am and how I’m perceived has prompted intense self-reflection about authenticity. Buzzing all my hair off was a profound step in defining a self and decorating a body that I can inhabit intimately.

You may have mentioned it before but I'm curious as to why you draw your Marlon bald? Personally, I want to smack his bald head and hear his brain rattle in his skull [affectionate]
1. stupid boring reason - differentiate him more from regular marla
2. scenario that only exists in my head (had long hair then he tried to kill himself aesthetically (xanax and slit wrists). blood got matted in his hair so he had to shaved it and just never bothered growing it back out)
3. his ass does NOT shower… and if he does its only to like. shave. does not touch shampoo at all. its welfare. like shaving a dog with matted fur or mange.
4. he would look too good with hair. i need him to be a little ugly. nerfed him with golf ball head
5. like tyler has insane sideburns i need him to have insane widow’s peak. slightly receded hairline.
