I had to ask because your type of hair thinning seems to me like it’s female patterned, which usually parts through the center, rather than the onset begin at the hairline or crown. As for your situation, you should definitely consult with a doctor because you have likely gone through a lot of hormone manipulation due to your transitioning. A process that I’m sure many people on this forum may be unfamiliar with. you may have to provide more information such as how was your hair before transitioning, did you notice thinning before during or after taking certain medications etc. Hopefully someone else with female patterned loss experience could chime in and help you out. From my minimal experience with some women I’ve known who’ve experienced loss, it seemed to have been due to fluctuations in hormones, thyroid issues, and they were often temporary.

It does appear to be female pattern hair loss. It’s probably exacerbated by testosterone therapy. You should consider trying finasteride.

Here's my hair 6/7 months ago. I've always had a wide part line but I'm not sure.. how can I notice thinning? 2nd pic is my hair under a lens now. Screenshot_20200825-010030.thumb.png.147dd877301ead8ebfea4b80c55d94f6.pngScreenshot_20200825-005634.thumb.png.848c4a973bd06b3f456b01c6a177c0cd.png
