Is stopping hair loss worth growing breasts? (AP)

After a man taking the same medication Luke does for preventing hair loss reported the pills made him grow breasts, will Luke continue taking it?

“I find it a little bit hard to believe that this was the effect,” said Luke in a discussion of the claims of William McKee, who now goes by Mandi.

McKee blames Propecia, a hair loss prevention drug, for making him grow breasts and leading him to identify as a woman.

“If you’re a heterosexual guy and you’re taking this and you started to grow breasts, as he says he did, and people were making fun of his breasts, you would just stop,” says Burbank.

“How do you know that at that point the pill won’t have put a little voice in your brain saying ‘Take more of me. Take more of me,’ asks co-host Dave Ross.

Ross says he would not take such a strong drug just to prevent hair loss.

“My thinking would be something strong enough to keep me from losing my hair is probably strong enough to do stuff I don’t want,” says Ross.

Besides, listener Dave in Olympia has a very easy way to keep your hair.

“I haven’t lost MY hair,” Dave writes. “I still have every one in a jar on my dresser.”
