I was born as a female and haven't started transitioning yet, so I hope it's ok that I answer.
My hair isn't receding, but it's gotten so thin on the top of my head I almost look bald. It's the main reason I started buzz cutting my hair.
Female baldness isn't a rare phenomena, but it's also not very common. My doc recommended taking a bunch of vitamin B to get the hair back. I haven't tried yet, but it's worth mentioning.
