"Reply to cosmicallyv\'s comment

I had it muted and when I turned up the volume I was SHOCKED"

Josie is looking at the camera, smiling, and saying in a medium high voice: "it's been a hot second so let me remind y'all"

in a much deeper voice she says:

"one I'm a natural baritone

two, trans women's voices do not change on hormones

and any changes to my voice are from effort and practice

three, if you do not choose to change your voice that does not invalidate your gender at all

and four, women with deep voices are undeniably sexy

have a nice day"

that’s me!

stop judging transfems worth and validity by how "passing" their voices are.

ok but seriously this is such a big problem. my voice does not pass and i honestly love that! my voice is great! i dont want to change it. people shouldnt have to change parts of themselves just because others dont find it to their liking.

stop treating voice training like its some necessary crucible all transfems must endure to be a "real woman". voice has no bearing on gender. voice training is hard! not everyone has the time, energy, motivation, or will to do it. thats not a bad thing!

i could elaborate more on this but i dont feel a particular need to grovel on the ground and explain exactly why its okay for a woman to have a deep voice. its really goddamn simple honestly. if you cant understand that, youre transphobic, plain and simple.

I just found some apps that have blown my mind. And no this isn't an add im just REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THIS.

The first one (Refuge Restrooms) shows you where the gender neutral bathrooms are in your area and you can add any ones that you find too.

It also can tell you where to find them. Here is a random example:

The 2nd app (Voice tools) is an app that can help you with your voice. It shows you what gender your voice sounds like when you speak, so it can be useful to help train it. If you look up 'voice training trans' it should be the first thing to pop up.

Here's a picture of it:

I hope this was useful! I think these are pretty awesome things to have around.

There is this app called “Voice Pitch Analyzer” on the app store that tells you if you sound feminine or masculine (or androgynous) and it’s really helpful for trans and nb people (if you feel dysphoric about your voice and want to practice making it lower or higher, or if ur on T and want to see how ur voice has changed). I was expecting it to be really feminine but it’s actually lower than I expected. I just wish it was lower though.

If you are looking for help with vocal pitch, I've heard good things about the EVA pitch app. Its free and helps with practicing keeping a sustained pitch

Thanks for the tip, anon, I’ll definitely look into it! :)

@shushlittlehush replied to my post “Just Whispers For Now” with:

I am a cis girl, as you know, and I have a lot deeper of a voice than most of my female peers. I've found that acting like you're a princess/queen/whatever who is being judged by a court of advisers helps me not only raise my voice, but also speak eloquently and not sound too "ditzy". I don't know if this would help you, but I thought I might offer it up. :)

Hmmm, I just tried it and that might help. Thanks! :D

(You mentioned speaking like a princess and I could only think of this movie.)

Just Whispers For Now

The Difficult I’ve Had In Finding My Feminine Voice
GIF credit goes to @animation-edits

I like my natural speaking voice.

Back in high school I was in the drama club so I learned how to command and control it there. I’ve learned to be confident in my speaking voice and therefore confident in my words. I can be loud, I can go on for tangents, but I honestly like the sound of my own voice. And I don’t mean that in an egotistical way (although that may be way I go off on tangents, now that I think about it), it’s just that I don’t have confidence in everything I’m genetically programmed for and my not-too-deep-but-still-kinda-deep voice is one of those things. I can do funny voices, I can even sing a little bit, I like my voice.

But when I’m feeling feminine I’m not as comfortable with my voice.

Whether you’re trans, non binary, gender queer, or gender fluid like me, you don’t HAVE to change your voice if you don’t want. At all. It’s not a prerequisite to your identity, you can be whatever you want and sound however you want. But for me, I find a lot of comfort in my feminine side through performative femininity. I like pink, I listen to “girly pop music”, I watch chick flicks, I shave my legs, etc. At time I’m a bit of a stereotypical girly girl and I like that. It makes me feel more comfortable in my femininity. BUT my voice does not fit that and while I love my voice as a guy, I have trouble switching to a more feminine voice.

I’ve tried different voices for when I’m feeling feminine but none of them feel right.

Above I mentioned I can do funny voices. I did those a lot in the drama program back in high school so that’s a skill which could help me when trying to find a more feminine range for my voice. But I don’t WANT my feminine voice to be funny. I’ve tried singing along to female artists when I listen to music (I heard someone recommend that to me), I’ve tried imitating those around me, but I haven’t found something I like. Even if I did, I find it really difficult to keep that range up while speaking normally. It doesn’t come naturally to me yet.

So to anyone struggling with their voice right now: you’re not alone. And it’s okay to struggle, it doesn’t make you any less you.
