Bald Man Claims Propecia Turned him into a Woman
For nine months, William McKee took the generic version of Propecia, the pills that promise to halt hair loss.
But the drug had radical side effects: Instead of becoming a better-looking man, he started becoming a woman, he claims.
“My rock-hard chest from the gym began to soften . . . reaching the point where I had noticeable ‘breasts’ even under my clothing, my shoulders were literally falling into a more feminine position, and my hips were loosening and becoming wider, as on a woman’s body
McKee who goes by "Mandi" now says he never cross-dressed before but now wears blond wigs and tight dresses with lots of make-up (apperently the drug also makes you dress slutty). He plans to get a breast-enhancement job this year, and may undergo sex-change surgery.
Propecia inhibits the conversion of testosterone, resulting in increased estrogen. Millions have used it since the 1990s, but it has been linked to sexual problems such as impotence, loss of libido and “genital shrinkage” as well as cognitive impairment, or “brain fog,” which McKee believes he also suffered.
Brooklyn attorney Marc Grossman, whose firm represents more than 300 former Propecia users, said many had breast growth.
He also said animal studies on Propecia showed an increased propensity for homosexuality.
Grossman estimates that more than 1,500 Propecia users will come forward but added, “Many men are embarrassed to reveal their problems to anyone, including their doctors, so thousands more will go on living with the condition in private.”
Bet he wishes he got a hair piece at the thrift store. Why at the thrift store? Because he did want "To Pay". Sorry old B-52s Joke.
