Hi! This is an older pic of me. I think it was from around 2013 with a bad cell camera and a silly makeup app. Weirdly, it is still the best one I’ve got of myself even after having fully transitioned shortly after the pic was taken. Anyway, my biggest dysphoria is with my voice. I’ve spent over a decade on make it “pass”. I’d like to know if there is interest in making a community for voice help (there are similar on Reddit).

This has been my biggest hurdle, and if I could feasibly help others, or other people could help each other that would be fantastic. Simple voice recordings uploaded to free sites with feedback are, in my opinion, very valuable as you need to be able to interact with people on a daily basis and looks alone will not get you there.

In short, I’d just like to know if there is interest for a community where we can help each other not be “outed” for simply trying to speak.

    I never even considered that there could be voice dysphoria. Of course there is. I wonder, would singing practice help ? I know it widened my range and generally made me more nimble, more flexible with my tone(s). This is coming from a place of complete naiveté, not being transgender,… well in any case I hope you get rid of that dysphoria one way or another

      what would not have a dysphoria at this point because if where trowing everything against the wall and too see what sticks that’s going to be more helpful.
