Look at this monstrosity New Zealand pumped out during World War II. Built in case of Japanese invasion, the tank was made by slapping corrugated iron on a tractor and calling it a day. The Japanese tanks were hardly great, but a Ha-Go is infinitely better than this. Nonetheless, I love it for its shittiness.

Minoxidil shouldn’t be having any effect here as it’s (mostly?) just a vasodilator.
Finasteride is a 5α-reductase inhibitor, preventing the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, which is considered to be a more potent androgen. The anecdotes I’m seeing online say it shouldn’t be an issue once you’ve been on T for a while, which aligns with what I know about it being important in androgenic puberty, but given how individualized hormonal stuff can be maybe it’s having an effect?
Yeah, it’s probably worth mentioning to my doctor at the very least. I’m going to try to get a blood test sooner rather than later to check my levels too. I wish healthcare were easier (and cheaper!) to access than it is!
