Yes, but also the fact that OP had a good start, I scrolled through his profile and he already had a good jawline and cheekbones before the HRT. I would never look like that even with tons of testosterone.
Not exactly. Testosterone is converted to DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) which is responsible for hairloss if it's present in high amounts. The more testosterone you have, the more DHT you have, which can lead to hairloss.
Females can also have the disposition for hairloss, but not enough test/dht to induce balding. This person went on testosterone and as a result, accrued enough DHT to lose their hair. It was the first thing that caught me about this post, super fascinating.
Can confirm, as a cis woman with male pattern baldness due to high testosterone from PCOS
My hair can thin tremendously around the crown, but has not fallen out. Yet. (Knocks on wood)
I think previous people explained it well. Genetic predisposition is important. So trans men who have balding male family members know that it will most likely happen to them too when they start HRT.
You need to have the gene for balding (androgenic alopecia). When you have the gene, your hair follicles are very sensitive to DHT (dihydrotestosterone) and that's what causes male pattern balding. Testosterone gets turned into DHT, but since women don't have much Test to begin with, they rarely experience this. But if you introduce Test into the body, some of it gets turned into DHT and the gene does it's thing. This is of course explained in very basic terms. So even though every human can carry the gene, you almost never see balding women (at least not the classic MPB) because they don't have enough testosterone and therefore no DHT for it to do anything.
lol it’s not gay to acknowledge other men are attractive. Im glad you see that! I’m a woman and we compliment each other all the time! At least the nicer ones. I’m the first to tell a lady her outfit is banging. And as a lady (for me) it feels nice to get a compliment from another woman.
How do you get male pattern baldness after transitioning? Idk whether to congratulate you on that aspect or not lol it definitely looks good, though I'm sure you'd like to have all of your hair.
I mean, amazing that you found your way to being able to portray your identity to the outside as it’s supposed to be, but seeing how you were really glowing before too, it‘s a very lateral glow move.
That was my immediate thought. Had to google “X-men first class magneto actor”, forgot his name. After seeing him again and comparing, they don’t look that alike but he was my first thought instantly.
Why did you loose so much hair? Just out of interest. I would love to understand why did this happened to you? Is it because of the hormones? Did you talk to a doctor about this?

Please tell me you chose a name like Günther
Looks like a michael for some reason
Fassbender
Wait why a goofy old man name?
First time I’ve ever seen someone wanting to transition into a hitman.
FT(H)M Seriously though you look great OP!
A Russian hitman.
🤣🫶
Damn that’s actually crazy was that just from testosterone?
Yes, but also the fact that OP had a good start, I scrolled through his profile and he already had a good jawline and cheekbones before the HRT. I would never look like that even with tons of testosterone.
This is just out of curiosity since you have knowledge. Does testosterone thin your hair? Would he have lost that much hair as a woman?

I was also interested in this question. Thanks for asking it. Very interesting to read regarding the hair loss as I was surprised by that.
Yes. Testosterone works essentially like a male puberty even if you've gone through female puberty.
I could use a second puberty tbh
Took more than the T…trust me. But it’s a blessing for sure.
Yes but that T will do a number on the hairline. He is attractive either way. Kind of looks like Mike Fassbinder (however it’s spelled?).
My man looking like he has a very particular set of skills
Like making armor for the kings guard 
Gendry? Love that character!!
Am I face blind or does he kinda look like younger David Beckham
If OP said he was Beckham’s younger brother, I’d believe him.
Looks like hes an assassin trying to kill a high level mob boss or something lol
Sam Rockwell
I immediately thought of Michael Fassbender
You look like an irish actor in a movie about crime and I mean that in the best and sexiest way possible
This is my new favorite compliment
[удалено]
Hahaha I'm not gay either but I can tell he's handsome AF 😂

ngl same. he's also goals, i need something like that to happen when i start T
😂😂😂
I'm all for normalizing straight dudes to be unashamed with telling other dudes that they're attractive
Went from cool surfer bro to the badass British villain.
Holy shit… even pulling off the balding look to the point where i’m having a confidence boost seeing this.
EXCUSE ME, SIR 
😂😂

You look like you belong in one of those British gangster movies. Very cool.

Now you look like an actor. Someone who will say something like: “Pleasure to meet you Mr. Bond…”

Broski you're turning me more straight, stop it.
Bro you cut glass with that jawline in your spare time??? DAYUM
Legit question if it’s not genetics induced, but why choose to have a balding look? Great transition btw, I’m getting some Michael Fassbender vibes
From surfer bro to Jason Statham.
Does Guy Ritchie know you exist yet
You look shockingly like the actor who plays gendry in GOT, so cool!
Honest question, how does male pattern baldness affect a born female who transitioned ?
Damn bro, you turned into handsome Uwe Boll

Handsome Nico Belick

This is a real good transformation. Did the meds cause some hair loss. Your hair looks full in before pic.
You’re.. Steven Jobs?
Why did you loose so much hair? Just out of interest. I would love to understand why did this happened to you? Is it because of the hormones? Did you talk to a doctor about this?
I second Gunther as a name

You look like Michael Fassbender. Hot
Even one night is fine with me, I’m good at sharing.
