I hope you get the results you’re looking for with your SRS! It’s got to feel amazing to finally get that, dysphoria is such a shitty thing.

It’s a nickname for estrogen pills

Thanks for the reply! It’s definitely interesting to see how varied everyone’s timelines are. I am learning that I developed quite quickly so I am considering looking more into getting a Klinefelter’s test too. I hope you get the results you’re hoping for on your test!

I wanted to get tested to see my starting levels, but my endo said it wasn’t necessary so I didn’t get one.

I really appreciate the information about androgen insensitivity syndrome, this my first time hearing of it, and I think it’s quite possible that I could have it.

Thanks for the reply. I always assumed that because it showed a range it was the earliest possible start time to the latest end time for some reason, but yeah it makes more sense that they are averaged and very general.

You can totally do it! It takes a lot of practice and dedication, and yes, you are going to sound off at first but that’s normal.

I suspect the reason your voice didn’t sound as feminine as you wanted is because you need to brighten your resonance more. Even with a deep pitch, a bright resonance will make your voice sound noticably more feminine.

The other thing it could be is perhaps your voice was too breathy, because it’s not natural sounding and it’s an easy mistake to make. I even made that mistake myself when I started out.

Pitch actually doesn’t matter too much. Like others in this thread have said, resonance is way more important.

For example, it’s actually really difficult for me to talk in my old voice, because I haven’t used it in such a long time. While I can get the pitch down if I try hard enough, I can’t do the same for my resonance, so my voice still sounds somewhat feminine even when I’m talking in a low pitched voice.

I never practiced for a set amount of time. I’d just do it kind of randomly whenever I felt like it. Usually I would practice at night when I was having trouble sleeping, but I’d sometimes do it while driving as well.

Also random hot tip: Have a word that you can say really well in your feminine voice that can be worked into any sentence, such as um or like, because then you can use it to recalibrate when you feel your feminine voice starting to falter.

Sometimes frustrating, sometimes fun, but it really depends on what I’m doing and if there are any tutorials available. Retopology has never been a good time but I do enjoy messing around with shaders.

Yep. Multiple times I have had Google maps direct me to back employee only entrances instead of the regular entrances. Sometimes it seems like Google doesn’t even recognize that the front entrance even exists.

I actually just looked it up and was going to edit my original comment but you already replied! Lol anyways, what I found was this:

Anatomically, penile and scrotal skin have no self-lubricating potential, though penile inversion vaginoplasty may produce some sexually responsive secretory fluid when urethral tissue is incorporated and lubricating genitourinary accessory glands are retained.
