I know that some of you are going to comment about going to see a doctor before taking such a medication but don’t worry. I will very much go see a doctor before I take it. Now for the main post… I’m in my late 20s but I’m one of those that suffer from early hair loss. Think Patrick Stewart and Jason Statham. I’ve taken Minoxidil before with some results but not that total restoration that I’m looking for. After some thought and hesitation, I’ve decided to take finasteride. I want to know, if you’ve taken finasteride before, what was your experience? I’ve heard that it might give you “down there” troubles. From the little research that I’ve done, it only affects about 2-3% causes if on the standard 1mg dosage. If you haven’t noticed already, I’m a cishet man and (I might be wrong but) most of the replies are probably going to be from other cishet men. However, I also know that many trans women also take finasteride to combat alopecia so, if you’re a trans woman, don’t hesitate to leave a comment about your experience.

To be clear, I don’t subscribe to the idea of “Nothing to Hide.” It’s a bullshit argument. The reason why I’m asking this is because I want to be able to explain why it’s bullshit. I don’t like the fact that many people, including ones in my family, are willing giving up their right to privacy simply because they’ve become accustomed to convenience that modern technology has afforded them. I, myself, have been guilty of these but I’m actively taking steps take back my privacy and potentially help other as well. Bonus question: Many people will retort with things “Do you want criminals walking our streets?” or bring up an anecdote about how Flock, Ring or any other surveillance companies’ cameras help solve a crime or found a missing person. Flock themselves have a blog post series called #SolvedStories where they list so-called “success stories” about their cameras solving a case. Of course, I don’t criminals walking our streets and, sure, those stories might pull my heartstrings but what’s the bigger picture?
