Well, I am not the princess of social graces, but typically it goes something like, “Hi, this is Darlene”.

Is this the future I was fighting for? The system is hung, frozen in limbo. Did we loose the fight? Maybe wars aren’t meant to be won. Maybe they’re meant to be continuous…

Have fun in the war dumbass I’ll be at home fucking military wives

I'm an AMAB Trans girl and I'm wondering how to avoid voice dysphoria when I begin practicing? My voice (when I was in choir) was low in the base section if it helps.

Harper says:Hey there!First, I’ll signpost you to our dysphoria tips page, for general dealing with dysphoria tips, and our transfem voice page, and (a bit of a long shot here) a search I did about voice dysphoria on our blog.At first, it’ll be strange and you’ll probably sound a bit funny at the top of your range, so it’ll take you some time to get your footing, (I’m a casual learner and I’m still not really there). I think that’s probably the main thing you should keep in mind - either in terms of dealing with voice dysphoria, or in terms of just trying to embrace that shakiness and sometimes silliness as a bit of fun with it.With this in mind, if you haven’t started practicing raising the tone of your voice and you’re worried that it might induce dysphoria - give it a go first, it might not be as bad as you think!Also don’t forget about the other part of vocal training: intonation - learning the traditionally “feminine” inflections etc., of speech. This can be the best way of actually sounding “feminine” no matter how high or low your voice is. There are plenty of trans women and cis women with lovely deep voices (the model Dara hasn’t made any effort to heighten her voice and its lovely and deep and feminine) that sound womanly / feminine / all that jazz. (There’s a very popular post I think about a lot that comes to mind, deep voices in girls can be very well loved by some people!)Try to keep in mind that there’s no “correct” level, or “correct” voice to strive for. The voice you have right now is a woman’s voice! And also try to keep in mind that the more you practice, the easier things will become, it’s all about growing.Finally, I’d recommend representation. Listening to trans women talk is one of my great comforts in life. I don’t have a wide variety of sources but I’ll link here a brief list of the people I listen to/know about. If any other followers or mods have any other ideas that’d be grand!Shon Faye - Shon this Way (YouTube link)Paris Lees - Interview with James O’Brien (YT link)Merritt Kopas - Woodland Secrets (Podcast)Morgan M.

im amab and i want to be a girl. i know that for sure, but i'm worried that it's for the wrong reasons? like that i'm not actually trans. the reason i'm worried is because i find women much more aesthetically pleasing than men (not sexually though, i'm ace). basically i'm scared that i want to become a woman because i feel like i can't be attractive as a man. i haven't really heard about other people having feelings like this so i'm pretty confused. and i can't come out until i'm sure i'm valid.

Harper says:Hey there!I’ll start off by saying I can’t make up your mind for you, whether or not you’re trans will always be your decision you’ll make in your own time.That being said I’d look at your first sentence again. “I want to be a girl.” That seems first and foremost pretty clear cut to me! It took me a while to realise that wanting to be a girl was a pretty major part of actually being a girl and being trans, no matter what other qualifications or doubts come after that. Wanting to be a girl is a pretty good reason to be one! That feeling could come under the lens of social dysphoria. It’s certainly something I felt - and still feel. A large part of my frustration with being a “”“man”““ was that I had to wear awful boring clothes, and I still feel every day that I’m just way more attractive as a woman! I have way more fun and freedom in my presentation this way and it just feels good to be a girl to be honest!There’s a million reasons for wanting to be a girl, and a lot of what you’ve said has or still does resonate with me.
