Female Pattern Baldness is, in fact, a thing


With increasing survival rates across all cancers, survivors represent a growing population that is frequently affected by persistent or permanent hair growth disorders...There are an estimated 15.5 million cancer survivors in the United States, equivalent to 4.8% of the population. 


Men and women both experience hair loss and the statistics are similar, though female pattern baldness is different from the better known male pattern baldness. 

TLDR of Source

Women go bald, both from female pattern baldness and also due to medical causes, such as treatment for cancer. About as many women as men experience hair loss.

Women probably cover it up more. They tend to have longer hair, which allows them to style it in a way that covers bare patches rather "naturally," and wigs are much more of a thing for women than for men.


"If a tree falls in a forest and makes no sound, still, it falls." OTHER people seeing you as "pretty" is hardly the only or even primary reason to transition.

But if you are reading this, I would like to say to you:

How girly of you to feel worthless as a woman and not worth existing if you aren't pretty. How very femme to have drunk the kool-aid already and determined that you should kill yourself before you can be born if you can't be pretty because women aren't real people and are utterly worthless if not pretty.

Anger Management

I was molested and raped as a child. I spent my teens and twenties filled with anger. My therapist once said something like "How did I know you were angry? Maybe it was the flames shooting out your ears." He wasn't actually talking about me. He was describing someone else. But he could have been talking about me. I took up role playing gaming in my teens and my first character was a Red Sonja-esque character with long red tresses. She was a fighter mage and she had issues. Gaming was good for me. I made a lot of friends and they were mostly male and they were protective of me. I began to put down my baggage. At some point, I retired that first character because she was so angry and toxic and I wasn't anymore. Playing her required me to put back on the mantel of so much baggage that I had worked hard to put down and it wasn't good for me to keep that alive. In my late twenties, me and my husband bought a house and it was about thirty minutes from the ...

Terminology, History and Context

From a previous post called The Closet : At one time, I thought that being a "closeted gay" meant something like you slept alone or dated same-sex people secretly. I have come to understand that term differently over the years. I've just left a comment on Reddit in a discussion about the past stating again that at one time I thought closeted meant handling things discreetly but that's not how that word gets used. I did so because of a reply to an earlier  comment of mine where the reply says "We were closeted. To do otherwise meant you'd lose your job." because I talked about the fact that we don't really know how LGBTQ stuff was handled because the written records we have don't really give you a good picture. I initially thought my "weirdo" interpretation of closeted was me being stupid or something but this little exchange has me rethinking that. I'm thinking now that perhaps at one time closeted  was used to mean handling it di...

JK Rowling

As noted by me elsewhere, a lot of people are NOT good at saying "Yes, they are famous, but they are sourcing that info from their ass. Their opinions on THIS subject aren't important." If people were good at that, JK Rowling could not be trolling planet Earth with talking smack about trans issues merely because she's famous. It's been some months since I stated a very mild opinion about JK Rowling's transphobic trolling of planet Earth. My understanding is her shit continues unabated and I'm not okay with that fact. 1. I have a serious medical condition and used to really start shit online without meaning to do so. If she's not merely a thoroughly hateful, evil person, the most charitable guess is she's got a serious medical condition and is trolling planet Earth from her sick bed for entertainment. I was not intentionally shit stirring, was not famous nor influential and I put enormous effort into figuring out how to not be so problematic. I ca...
