303 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation is about using finasteride and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for hair loss and their role in gender-affirming care. It debates whether these treatments are considered hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and their implications for both cisgender and transgender individuals.

learn Clascoterone

Can I use clascoterone if I'm undergoing gender-affirming hormone therapy? No published clinical trial has tested clascoterone in people on gender-affirming hormone therapy, so its safety in that group is unknown. The FDA label reports low systemic exposure and no described effect on blood testosterone, but it also records HPA-axis suppression and raised potassium in a small minority of subjects.

learn Estradiol

Why is Estradiol used to treat hair loss in women and transgender people undergoing hormone therapy? Estradiol is used within supervised hormone therapy and may slow hormone-related hair loss in some women and trans women, but the evidence is limited and it carries serious whole-body risks.

learn Follistatin

Is follistatin safe for use in women or transgender individuals undergoing hormone therapy? No study has tested follistatin in women or transgender people on hormone therapy, and it has no approved human use or established dose; a 2023 study in 72 adolescents with PCOS found that the body's own follistatin rose on estrogen-containing contraceptives alongside less favourable metabolic markers, a correlation that does not show follistatin caused them. The published evidence does not support using it in this group.

learn Cyproterone

a synthetic anti-androgen and weak progestogen that inhibits DHT binding to androgen receptor

Is cyproterone safe to use during gender transition? Regulators and a large French cohort study link higher-dose, long-term cyproterone acetate to meningioma, and its label also lists liver-enzyme and mood effects — so it is not a drug anyone should call safe in the abstract, and its use in gender-affirming care is a prescriber's decision with monitoring.
