Female voice for my M2F daughter


MomTGDaughter

Recommended Posts

My daughter transitioned a little over a year ago at age 12, she is now 13 and her voice is gender neutral, though slightly more feminine.  I appreciate suggestions and recommendations to achieve a very feminine and soft voice.

Is your daughter in puberty blockers?  If so, they will prevent her voice dropping into the male range.  A voice coach might be able to help with her voice inflection, so that she uses it in a more feminine way.

Yeah, that's about right. Puberty blockers to keep her voice from dropping until she's ready for E and voice lessons to change up her resonance and speech patterns.

 

Hugs!

Yes, she is on blockers and her voice is slightly more feminine now. However I think there can be some improvement and I want to make sure I am doing all I can to help her with that. She will eventually be on estrogen. Should I have more patience?

Hi @MomTGDaughter, Here is a tech tool for the phone. The good ole Voice Pitch Analyzer on the Google Play store. I don't know how effective it really is, but it is good fun and free.

And then here is an online voice coach, a young person that does TransVoiceLessons.

Good luck to your daughter.

 

p.s. I fail miserably at both.

Is there a choral group through her school?  Singing will help her with voice pitch control, and will be a lot of fun for her.  It will help her to be conscious of her voice and breathing to make it sound appropriate.  I am part of a Trans Choral group in L.A. but our lower age limit is 18 for the time being.  Some of the State Colleges have Saturday choral groups for young musicians down to 11 years old that are taught by the college students for course credit.  The college student director may get extra points for working with a Trans girl.

 

At 13, I would not worry too much, because other girls are going to be all over the music scale.  The softness or loudness is her control as I mentioned and frankly having wonderful and assertive Trans youth these days in wonderfully refreshing and does not take away from either feminine or masculine.  When she gets the actual HRT, you will need to check your voice and see how much is you and how much is training because she is going to be getting the family female voice like you did.

Since she is at an early age, she can change her voice. Good thing is transitioning before/during puberty can help with that. After puberty, you are stuck with that voice, unless you put a lot of work into voice lessons and/or have voice feminization surgery.

 

Also, there is a huge connection between reading and voice. She's young, have her read everything there is. Become familiar with your public library (we all need to). Stay away from pop novels, a lot are poorly written. If she can't stay away from pop novels (I was at that age once and totally crushed on Clive Barker) make her a deal. For every classical novel read from the library, she can buy a pop novel from the book store. Reading will enhance her vocabulary, pronunciation, comprehension skills, and will also give her a leg up for the SATs. Journaling will also help her find her voice too. If not already, she should be journaling every night.

 

There are voice clinical labs that specialize in voice therapy for Transgender Women. This is covered by insurance. There may be one in your area.

 

For example, this is a clinic I found here in DC.

This link has also helped me out a lot.

I hope these help!

@JennaLSinclair thank you Jenna - I do work on my voice and these resources will be a wonderful addition. I've known about Melanie Anne Phillips for years before I finally accepted me for who I am and she might now be a wonderful resource.

Jenna, thank you so much, I am going to review those resources later today. I am following all recommendations by her therapist so she has fewer issues later on and becomes a very feminine young lady.

      Them's fighting words, but I intend to discuss this respectfully, calmly and so forth, in accordance with the forum rules.   Considering the one issue below in isolation:   There is a political calculus that trans folk may be better off under Trump than under Biden.  The argument goes that Biden has created such a backlash by moving so far to the left that red states, in particular, are reacting with a swarm of laws that negatively impact trans folk.  Some of his actions strike many people as clumsily forcing unwanted regulation on people, and some of his appointments, such as the luggage stealing bigender individual, have not helped advance trans folk but rather the reverse.  In a second term Biden would make things worse for trans folk because of the backlash and resentment his policies would create.    Trump likely would have negative impacts to trans folk, as he did in his first term with respect to the military, so it is a set of tradeoffs as to which is worse.   Thoughts?

      Can you dress androgynously?

      There are trans folk who pass better than some cis people.  People usually aren't on the lookout for those who are cross dressed.  As long as there are no multiple screaming signals and you don't draw attention to yourself you can probably pass better than you think. For example, if you walk into a bank in heels, however, and you DON'T know how to walk in heels, you will attract the attention of a security guard, especially if you are acting nervous. If you wear flats and just go to the bank and do your business like anyone else, it is likely no one will notice, except that there was a customer who was taller than most women are, but then there are tall women, and tall, broad shouldered woman.  I made the mistake years ago of thinking I had outed such, and knew she was a he.  Later I learned she had five kids, and her husband was bigger than she was.  Ooops.

      I don't know much about CNAs.  They report to an RN, right?  Can you somehow bring this up to the RN in a way that does not get your CNA mad at you? I'm not saying you should, but maybe that is a good course of action.

      This is the thing.  A month ago tomorrow is when I stopped wearing m clothing.  Today I feel great.  I do not have dysphoria when I am dressed as and I move as a woman.  I was just thinking about that because I was wondering if I would or will get hit with a wave of "you don't have dysphoria so you might as well dress like a guy. Less hassle with your wife."  Not that she is aware, to my knowledge, that these androgynous clothes are women's.  No desire to "flip", no feeling of need to, just happy identifying as female.  Speaking, in my deep guy voice, with female voice patterns, doing the feminine gestures that come naturally and without exaggeration and at peace.

      Yes, my brother was born lactating due to absorbing hormones from my mum.    Of course she isn't a nurse, she is a CNA. She should however still have general medical knowledge.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I agree.  But sometimes unethical conduct must still be legal, because the cure would be worse than the disease.  One problem we have today with the internet is the trolls can gang up on someone and destroy them - we see the with school bullying as well.   He was in the Southern Baptist Convention, and maybe he should have moved his church over to say the American Baptists, who might have been able to help him. A Southern Baptist pastor is king in his church, peerless, which means he could not have gone for help in his church.  And he could not have gone for help from any other pastor in the SBC because they likely affirm the SBC statements on these matters.  I think he was stuck.    I read this when it came out in the news.  Very sad situation.

      One organization that I know of that is dedicated to assisting LGBT seniors is SAGE.  They advocate for, and have services for, all LGBT folks, not just trans folk.  You can find their website Here.  I am not sure what, if anything, they have in terms of financial assistance.  I'll let you know if I find anything else.   Carolyn Marie

      This was an angle that I was very suspicious of as well, and may be the hook on which the settlement was hung.      Not at all strange especially if they had former patients who moved there that still owed money on their bills or they were buying hospital supplies from a Texas corporation. They may have business licenses in other states as well.  Small loss, but saxeT shot itself in the foot there since the license was a source of income to the state. 
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Nah it's fine, I'm past the point of really blaming them most of the time. I've gotten used to it, and they could be a whole lot worse.   I'm glad you have a good place, though <3

      I wonder about the professional knowledge level here.  Men have milk ducts.  She, as a nurse, should know this.  This is interesting  https://www.livescience.com/45732-can-men-lactate.html  Yes, men can lactate and have lactated, trans or cis.  The idea that Birdie does not have milk ducts or tissue is just plain wrong.  Her statement indicates that she has not looked at the medical record, which she should be familiar with to treat the patient. 
    • Ivy
      Trans women can lactate under the right conditions. But that's not even the case in your situation.  It's so stupid how they simply refuse to accept your reality.
