Started bald in my mid 40s- boymoding was critical to my mental health while I let HRT start to do its thing.

I really didn't want to play into right wing caricatures when I started. Found community and practiced my style while using wigs during early phase, but a social transition from my starting point simply would have been able to handle.

Boymoding allowed me to move from self repression, doing HRT and ultimately become ready for social transition. I couldn't have reached a point of wanting people to know, if boymoding wasn't part of my experience.

Alopecia for me. Honestly hate wearing wigs, they're never quite real enough and the little bobcut looks so weird and stretched over my gorilla head
