    If I were to ever entertain transitioning, the voice training is something I wouldn’t want to fuck with at all. It sounds like it sucks

      one thing cool about voice training is that you dont need hrt or money to do it. you can just do it. like getting a bigger ass. you can just lunge. some people do have an upper limit of what they can comfortably achieve with their voice, but you wont know that till you try.

      if youre considering transitioning, you can just play it off as vocal training for songs if anyone notices. plus, it might make you feel good!

        It’s not that I’m considering transitioning as much as I’m heavily questioning who I am and reconciling how I present with my sexuality and who I’m attracted to. The idea of presenting as anything but cis male is terrifying to me, but there’s obviously something going on there idk

        • Gender questioning can be so frustrating because being excited to transition is a good indicator, but being terrified of transitioning can be a good indicator too, even though you’d think it would specifically be a sign in the other direction and it can be one. Feels like it’s full of stuff like that. Hope you figure it out, friend.

      There’s days where it feels like my favorite part of transitioning because i can actively influence what happens. With HRT, i just have to wait what happens, with laser hair removal or surgery i rely on somebody else’s skill, but voice training is an active process where i can make conscious choices about the direction i want to go in. ofc i may be a bit of an outlier in that regard because i can view my voice as an instrument instead of a dysphoria-inducing part of myself and because i don’t care much about passing anymore.
