man claims finasteride turned him into a woman.
A US man is claiming hair loss pills turned him into a woman, with feminine breasts, hips and shoulders.
William McKee — who now goes by the name Mandi, wears women's clothes and plans to get breast enhancement surgery — said he started taking a generic version of the drug Propecia, called finasteride, in 2008.
The 38-year-old father took one pill a day for nine months and said he noticed "minimal, if any" hair growth and "pronounced" changes to his body instead.
"My rock-hard chest form the gym began to soften… reaching the point where I had noticeable breasts under my clothing," Mr McKee told the NY Post.
"My shoulders were literally falling into a more feminine position, and my hips were loosening and becoming wider, as on a woman's body," he said.
Mr McKee said people started teasing him about his breasts, his work suffered, he became depressed and he separated from his wife of 10 years.
Propecia inhibits the conversion of testosterone, resulting in more estrogen and has been linked to sexual problems including impotence and genital shrinkage.
Lawsuits have been filed in 27 US states by men claiming the drug affected their sexuality, but Mr McKee cannot join the mass suit because the courts bar those who took a generic version of the drug.
Instead, Mr McKee launched a blog under the name Mandi McKee to vent his frustration.
"I was married to an amazing and beautiful woman who lost her husband, and I am father to an amazing five-year-old boy — who lost his dad," Mr McKee wrote on his blog.
Brooklyn attorney Marc Grossman, whose firm represents 300 Propecia users, said many claim to have experienced breast growth and studies have shown an increased propensity for homosexuality in animals that took the drug.

Re: man claims finasteride turned him into a woman.
Sounds slightly strange that the dude went from having rock hard pecs from the gym then decided to go the whole hog and change into a woman. Kind of sounds like he wante to be a women in the first.
Nevertheless this is further testimony to why nobody should ever take this drug. Even if you don't have sides immediately, this was only after nine months, imagine it after 10 years or so....
Dht is natural and does not need to be blocked to solve hairloss.

Sounds like this guy is going to give a good, premeditated try at getting the drug company to pay for his sex change operation.

its bullshit. transgendered male to female involves a whole cocktail of hormonal therapies. the 15 or 20 rise in estrogen that occurs from finasteride aint gonna do it.
This.

Re: man claims finasteride turned him into a woman.
many have high estrogen after coming off fin, including me. if you goto propeciahelp.com, you will see many men have developed gyno from it and had to have surgery. i suggest you look at propeciahelp.com before you claim that this man just "decided" it. i would have expected more from you guys here.

lol, theres a bit of a difference between developing erectile dysfunction and gyno, and changing into a woman.
