Nothing is genetically determined. The environment happens to you after your genes do.

(For instance, it's easy to "change" if you're a burn victim. If you're going to be scientific, be specific.)

So what? This correction changes nothing, the discussion is about control.

A man who wants to improve his attractiveness in terms of body height, skin colour or sensitivity of the scalp against 5α-DHT expressing follicle miniaturisation can't achieve shit by changing his environment.

Sure, but then say "it's too late to change it". Which I agree with! But being overly pop-scientific leads to, you know, eugenics.

If your hair is thinning that's less of a problem than you think. It looks bad if you look like you're intentionally ignoring it, but lean into it and you're fine.
