@lisamelton Double thank you honey. ❤️ I have to admit, when it comes to the voice I am happy. I don’t like the way I look, but when I hear my voice I can barely believe that is me. Just gotta keep doing the exercises…
@portugeek I don't like the way I look either, and that's after 10 months of HRT. But you're lucky. You're still young, girl! Revel in that.
And I know what you mean by the feminine voice. That's something I've always been able to do. Even since the beginning. Because of that, I don't get misgendered over the phone. And this has saved me from hours and even days of dysphoria.
You are so wise to work on that early. Keep going! 💖
@lisamelton Still not young enough to do a lot of the girly stuff I wish I had done… There’s always the what ifs, right? But I see your point and I’ll take what I can get.
The voice is so important in gendering. I read somewhere about a study that claimed it’s the second most important element in how our brains gender people, only after the hair. So I didn’t want to sit around and wait. By the time I come out, my voice will definitely be ready, even if the rest has a long way to go.
