Are there doctors that specialize in

Vocal Folds Shortening and Retro­displacement of Anterior Commissure (VFSRAC) in the United States or Canada?  I am not comfortable flying to South Korea due to tensions between USA and NK.  I originally was planning on Yeson Voice Center and Dr. Kim  but now I need a "Plan B".  My wife and my mom both put the kibosh on my idea of going to Seoul.

There is Dr. Haben in Rochester, NY who specializes in vocal chord surgery.   I've read good things about him.   Find him at  professionalvoice.org

Thank you for that information Jani

I went to his site and found the voice feminization surgery and explanation quite interesting.  I simply don't know if i could get it past my wife.  She says i sound fine.....i try to believe that......but?

Oh you sound fine Charlize! :)  How long has your wife been listening to you?   I don't know how hard you try, but I found your voice to be fine.  

 

I've heard the healing time from surgery is long and you can't speak for several months as the vocal chords heal in their new form.  Then you have to continue voice therapy to relearn how to speak with the new voice.  It sounds like a whole lot of work.  It is good that there are options here in the US.

A friend of mine had her work done by Dr. Haben and while she is happy, about the only noticeable to me about her before and after is that her North Carolina accent has gone even further south and west.  We love her but chuckle about the results, even when she is around.

Dr Haben does Vocal Fold Webbing Anterior Commisure Retrodisplacement (VFWACR).   I want Vocal Folds Shortening and Retro­displacement of Anterior Commissure (VFSRAC).  I don't think they are the same.  I need this one:

I wasn't aware there was a difference.  Maybe he or someone in his office could recommend another surgeon.

      OK Governor Signs School Bathroom Bill Into Law

      By VickySGV · Posted

      As I read this one, it is only for school bathrooms.  I hope he has signed a bill to triple the number of "security monitors" on the campuses and up their pay considerably, not to mention some other costly stuff.  Only way is for every school employee, to know the birth certificate information of each student by memory which will require 3 additional months of salary for them all.  It appears the enforcement relies on parental reports obtained from their children which opens so much up.  The kids will end up ALL with wet or soiled underwear while the parents go at each other with weapons over "family honor" over false calls based on childish name calling.

      I agree. This law is impractical and impossible to evenly enforce without such ridiculous measures in place. What it will do is stigmatize the trans community in Oklahoma and nothing more but ofc, that’s the only point of it.   If I was in that state and needed a restroom, there’s no chance I’d ever step foot in the men’s restroom because of some law. I know I’m not alone in that thinking. This law won’t stand the test of time.

      I asked AI to create an image of myself 30 years younger based off my avatar on another site and this was the result:     Wow! I am amazed how close it got my 30 year old face!

      Quite true.  The amusing thing about opposites is how similar they can be.   My family left Greece because of the conflict between the communists and the militarists/fascists.

      This wouldn't even be a problem if they would just leave us alone.  It is a no-brainer.

      OMG.  I'm glad it wasn't worse, and you were able to get on it quickly.  Lots of blood can be scary.

      Like I said, I'm no tankie, but I do see a world of difference between Joseph Stalin and Bernie Sanders.   If the point is not wanting 'government control' the Right is pretty good at that themselves - as they've been demonstrating lately. This stuff gets complicated.

      So, I am curious. Is the Governor going to mandate vaginal or penile recognition photos before one enters the restroom? Considering the Governor has no balls to do the right thing, will he have to pee against a tree outside? Inquiring minds would like to know. I love it when the job recruiters contact me about the wonderful jobs available in Oklahoma. It is so much fun telling them there is no way I will ever go to Oklahoma. When there are no workers, then they can shutter the place.

      If you could talk for 1 hour about any topic without preparation, what would it be?

      By Jet McCartney · Posted

      Ngl, probably Sonic the Hedgehog, the Beatles, or the Monkees. Those are the three subjects I know the most about so I could drop hours of info on them.

      Thank you! I'm out of coffee so I have been drinking hot tea instead. Looking forward to the 1st. It's crazy that we are almost in May. This year has flown by really quick! Good to hear that y'all got to sleep in. Hope you have a good weekend too!

      It's nice to care about others but you need to live your life as you please. No one be your only source of happiness. Love yourself and don't look back. I lost over 40 family members it hurts but apparently, they didn't truly love me. True love will always be there through the thick and thin. I can honestly say that HRT has made me think in ways that I never thought I would. I get myself some shoes or clothes every month because retail therapy not only helps but it is a reward to myself to show love. I have over 100 dresses. I have a whole walk-in-closet full of clothes and 67 pairs of shoes. I love who I am. I was born in 84 so not all people in the 80's think that way. As far as the name just take your time and be happy with it. I knew I loved the name Ashley. Take care and welcome!
