Also a welder for many years, i don't agree with op's comment. Yes you can be self taught but keep in mind that every metal reacts differently and there is a process for each often them. Depending on what you are welding, if done incorrectly the part that breaks can probably harm someone if it breaks again due to bad welding. Take a small hobby course with a teacher so you know how to do it right. Best of luck!

Im sorry but im a bit confused and ashamed to say ive never heard of this.

So a person like yourself has many female qualities but also male qualities? having a vagina but testicals as well, is it apparent or would only an xray show it? Do reproductive organs work as other women? What other parts of the body would be masculine? At what age did you find out about yourself and how did you react?

Aside from 1001 questions i think its great you are doing this Ama. im sure this topic helps many people dealing with this.

Also a welder, the pay ranges from shop to shop. What your welding, type of metal, if your using TIG, Stick or MIG. my guys weld anything from steel, aluminum to stainless on hydraulic dump boxes and make anywhere from 15 to 25 an hour in ontario

I have alopecia myself, i will admit mine is currently not as severe as yours but it still sucks. My beard is what is affected, i went from bearded to spotted over night. I currently go for injections in my chin and neck to fight it off. It worked the first time then came back after treatment was done. Hair is "starting" to come back again.. what treatment do you take?

It is hazardous no matter what safety protection you have on. Even with a proper shaded mask, it takes a toll on your eyes. If any skin is exposed to the welding light (arc burn) its cancerous and feels like a horrible sun burn. Don't forget when your not welding, others around you are still going. Seeing the bright light withought a mask is dangerous too. Grinding disks do explode and can hit you from a far distance. All to say it can be very dangerous.
