They use finasteride, which blocks the conversion of serum testosterone into DHT, which is responsible for hair loss. It’s sometimes prescribed alongside estrogen and another anti-androgenic (if necessary) for the same purpose (hair loss prevention) so I wouldn’t call finasteride feminizing HRT, just adjacent to it. 🤓
It’s from 4chan/r9k/incels afaik. Or at least they’re the ones who popularized it recently. It’s kind of mainstream now I guess? But that’s the roots from what I remember.
You’re probably right. Or maybe racist. Neither is acceptable and I’m not sure why I typed that particular portmanteau when there are so many other ways to disparage the landlord class. Sorry about that.

Pretty sure some wealthy hogs used estrogen therapy in some anti-COVID cocktail.
Doesn’t -oid have ableist roots?

Yuck. My bad.
Like “removed” and its variants, sliding back into mainstream vernacular via the shittiest parts of the net. I’ll do better.
Yeah, even without the roots it has a bad vibe to me.
