“Every time that an anti-trans bill passes, it is another attempt at removing #trans people from the public eye,”
New from @TexasObserver: The #Texas "bathroom bill" that goes into effect in December is more than an assault on trans rights: it weaponizes #transphobia to attack #schools and libraries. One legal expert I spoke with called it “the most plainly unlawful, undemocratic, legislation I’ve seen in recent history.” https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-bathroom-bill-weaponizes-transphobia/

It's funny that the people suing to block laws banning conversion therapy are basing their argument on the first amendment right of therapists to say whatever they want to patients, while those same people support laws banning doctors from even mentioning abortions to their patients. #hypocracy #conversiontherapy #lgbtqia

We've been thinking more about voice training.
We don't find it fun: it's a painful chore.
We can't do it if being perceived in person.
We find the exercises too much like singing lessons (which are triggering) and cringe.
We cannot stick
We do, however, like poorly attending other accents (mostly English regional accents) and find it actively fun.
Anyone managed to voice train not via daily, boring, abstract exercises, but rather fun voice activities that don't feel embarrassing to do around others and which actually spark joy?
