Let's talk about feminizing hair transplants!
Hair transplants are an oddball procedure that can be absolutely decisive in feminizing a transfeminine face, depending on what a person needs. The process is pretty simple: they take a strip of skin and hair from the back of your scalp, usually 1-2cm wide, close that incision, use a microscope to reduce that strip of hair into its individual follicles, and then insert them where your hairline needs modification. Many folks don't need transplants, and a lot of transfems miss that MANY cis women have very square natural hairlines, and that their hair falls easily into cisf error bars.
Still, dysphoria is a beast.
There are quite a lot of us who *do* absolutely need a hair transplant in order to visibly pass without a hairpiece. I was definitively one of those women--I'd suffered massive hair loss and recession when I started HRT.
How bad, you ask?
This bad.
Yeah.
