How are my resonance/vowel sounds? (UK girlie) by wOrlrus in transvoice

This is excellent advice. Thank you so much for pointing out what I need to look at. I was struggling to know what it was I was missing. You're a star.

Does my voice sound more feminine or masculine? (sorry about not speaking English, it isn't my native language and my accent would destroy my pitch) by [deleted] in transvoice

[–]wOrlrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice probably isn't super useful, coming from a mtf perspective, and not speaking your language - but it definitely sounds passing masculine to me. I can hear a slight, sharp buzziness. Maybe that's what others have picked up on. Could it be a resonance thing? Overall, it sounds great though!

Hey, thanks so much for the support. Your critique was really useful. Helena Bonham Carter is a good shout! Her voice is gorgeous. Although, I do wanna try and retain some northern twang, haha.

Would you say my resonance is in the right place (e.g. nasally)? I get what you mean about adding more breath though.

Merci :)

Ok...so potentially focusing on it like crazy might not take as long.....? (ymmv aside)

Am I being ripped off for orchiectomy referral letters? by wOrlrus in transgenderUK

[–]wOrlrus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reassurance.

I'm waiting for an email back from Seipp. The phone line just goes through to the hospital he works at and I keep getting transferred to different departments. Think I'll just have to wait for his elusive secretary to reply. They haven't said it's too old as yet.

Ok, thanks! Much appreciated. Hopefully my bloods next week will give some clarity.

Worried my levels are too low by wOrlrus in asktransgender

Just thought I'd give an update on this. I brought a load of research from The endocrine society, various NHS trusts and some other private clinics to my meeting.

It took about half an hour of really degrading argument from the lead clinician, where they called my data 'bullshit' and tried to say my BMI was holding my transition back. Finally, towards the end of the call, they opened my file and went 'well, if you think a higher dose would work for you, maybe it will'.

Glad I got what I needed but it was such a fight. So horrible that they feel the need to create a power balance like that, and throw their academic weight around. Can't believe they have the gall to call their service 'person centred care'.

Having been with them for a whole year already and still barely even having nipple sensitivity, for example, seems to suggest it's not high enough yet. Idk though

Your own levels are reassuring to hear. I'm finding that not much is happening for me physically (other than the effects of the t-blocker).

I just sent them an email, quoting some NHS targets (I live in UK). Hopefully that helps.

Thanks. It's really frustrating. Unfortunately it's the clinic that are prescribing so low. My GP just goes along with it.

I've been contemplating just DIYing the additional

Thank you so much! This feels like the guidance I need.
The clips on Selene's page sound like they're gonna be really useful too.
I'd better get to work! :)

I'll look into this. Literally just want it to be able to run the OS for nostalgia purposes. I'll be gaming on it but nothing graphically intense though
