As an AMAB them-fatale who found out they had male pattern baldness the day they came out, I, uh, I needed to hear this. 😭 EDIT: I really do appreciate the ideas and help, everyone, but I think we all misunderstood the assignment given the quote: "...femininity doesn't have to come from hair or any of those traditional female archetypes of appearance..." 😂 Thank you all though, I have happy tears reading your replies.
If it helps if your lucky enough to rock the bald look go for it. Bald is dead sexy regardless of gender.
Yeah, as a straight man who is generally attracted to more feminine features, there's a number of bald women I've find who rock the look and look amazing. Pretending like you're not balding is also one of the ugliest looks you can have. You know you are, and so does everyone else. You just have to accept it and make the best out of it, not fight it. This may mean wigs, or going bald, or both. The "comb my hair to try to hide it" look has tricked literally nobody and generally just looks like you haven't come to terms with it yet (which is fair, just not a good look).
