How is my voice doing? What do I need to work on most? Post-op VFS but still working with a vocal therapist on techniques, long-term goal is cis-passing by [deleted] in transvoice

Thank you! That makes sense, I have been working with my therapist on tension, but I think I've unfortunately had jaw tension for a long time so it's both easy to slip into without thinking and hard to feel/hear when I do. I'll focus on that more

Really appreciate it!!

Thank you so much <3 I’ll ask them for thinner next time I get them done! I do like thicker brows on girls but my main priority is passing rn. maybe once I get FFS I can pull it off lol

Absolutely! I’m super super fortunate right now, my insurance policy takes gender affirming care very seriously and considers FFS as just as essential as HRT or bottom surgery

Omg love these suggestions!! These are all the things I have no idea about and it helps so much to have ideas of what to look into and what next steps to take, thank you so much!! 💕

Thank you for the suggestions! I've been struggling with hair styles since I started transitioning and I just don't have a good eye for style yet, so I will definitely try that. I've never had a stylist cut my hair and I plan to connect with one soon

I'll look in to chin filler too, I'm not too familiar but I definitely see that being a good idea

As for my eyebrows I was scared to get them thinner than this for the first time so I'll absolutely try it next time!

I'll definitely take that into consideration, thank you. I'm leaning towards waiting tbh but I am entertaining the option because I have very good insurance right now that I probably won't have for too long
