Male pattern baldness is a male/masculine trait. Working against that is not gender affirming.

It’s a sign of too much testosterone being converted to dht and having genes that sensitize the hair on your head to it so that they fall out, which primarily happens with age and stress.

He wants to look like a young virile male rather than looking like he swallowed a couch cushion.

Gender affirming care.

I don’t have male pattern baldness, but is hair thinning a masculine trait? Just kidding, I couldn’t give less of a shit what people consider makes me masculine. I’m a man as far as I’m concerned.

Did his jawline really change from the images left and right or are they just taken from different angles?

Assuming Elon is the guy on the right, I don’t see obvious differences to the left picture (except of course his hairline).

That’s Peter Thiel, the gay billionaire who wants to turn America into a network of technofeudalist monarchies each lead by a CEO-king.

He’s single-handedly responsible for J.D. Vance’s political rise, and is Trump’s largest donor.

Hard to believe that PayPal would end up creating the men who would end up actually having a real chance at destroying America.

Also, very funny to me that Musk has been trying to force x-dot-com to happen for so long. He bought that expensive domain in the 90’s and so far the only times it’s ever been used was first as the original PayPal domain, which despite being very simple has considered terrible branding for a financial company and the other founders forced a domain change. The second time was Musk buying Twitter and ruining it.

Between those two uses, Musk has been spending millions a year in registration fees for that cursed domain, and running his mouth non-stop about an “everything app” with no other description than that it would have features similar to PayPal (Musk only understands money and nothing else), and it would be hosted on the X domain.

When Musk bought Twitter, he promised that it would transform into this fabled “everything app”, but so far the only thing he added to the platform is Nazis.

Yea, this one’s a stretch. My jawline continued to change in my 30s, and just 10lbs weight difference made a big shift in my face.

I am a Rocket League addict. I hate that my once indie game is owned by a major public company that exploits us. Anyway, they just added the cybertruck to the game, and I frequently find myself playing against an all cybertruck team with nothing but cybertruck teammates to help me. And every time I see it, I can’t help but feel like it’s the anti-rainbow flag. Gay Pride month is over, now it’s Trans Hate month; gotta cover all the bases.

Rocket league added a rainbow flag but then “accidently” removed it to where you needed to submit a support ticket to get it back. Lot of homophobic folks will react if you have it on your car. We must stunt on those fools.

Whaaaaaaat?? I had not heard about this.

Hmm, from the google results of reddit pages I see that it was wiped from some player inventories but it’s still out there and tradable. Yes, very suspicious it’s known but was never resolved.

I get what everyone is saying, but if we’re being totally honest their issue is with gender affirming care is when it’s used for the opposite gender they want to force you to maintain.

Male affirm male ok. Female affirm female ok. Male affirm female… AHHHHHHH!!! BE AFRAID!!!

Either way we’re all correct in calling them assholes that should stay the fuck out of our pursuit of happiness.

Ah, but you see, a man who wants to live as a woman is delusional. A weak, low-T beta male who wants to live as an alpha is

…no, I still can’t figure out how they square that with themselves

Eh, “cut my penis off because I want to be a woman” is a pretty far leap from “I wish i wasn’t bald”. That’s how they square it.

I’m not judging one way or other.

So it’s just a question of degree?

That means they’ll have no problem with men growing their hair out, for example, or wearing makeup?

I literally heard an interview with a trans person who talked about how everyone who feels that they want to exert some effort to adjust their appearance to affirm the gender they feel is correct for them is trans. It doesn’t matter what the starting or ending point is, if you make decisions to enhance your gender expression in any way, then you’re engaging in trans behavior, and I think it’s a great point.

I mean that’s just completely incorrect though. The sentiment might be coming from a good place but it doesn’t work that way.

Yeah, no. We don’t need to make shit up. However, we could call it trans-gender affirming care and cis-gender affirming care. Using cis will trigger these idiots anyway, no need to call it trans.
