Edit: I’m a little worried I may have misused the word “alleviate”, which I thought means “to ease a little bit in a non permanent way”. Sorry if I accidentally made you all confused. xD

I wrote this in another community the other day:

As to why I insist on buying female centric vinyls, I’m not quite sure, but it could have something to do with my gender dysphoria. I believe the psychological mechanism is too complex for me to even begin to understand, but I think I listen to what I want to become or what I would have wanted to be in the first place, gender-wise (voice, body, clothing, etc.). Maybe vinyl, being an older medium, brings me back to and helps me imagine a childhood that I wish I could have had? I just spitballing here though…

Can you relate? Is there music that alleviates your dysphoria?

    Sic! Also, +1 for Hatsune Miku! :D

    Honest question, but feel free to tell me to read up on my own: does HRT highten the voice pitch, change the timber or affect voice in any other way without voice training? Also, if the voice and/or vocal cords are in fact affected, does the “typical” male falsetto (or its range) transition into a more “typical” female like head voice? 🤔

      I don’t know too much about voice training tbh. I still sound like a guy and haven’t really tried to voice train.

      But estrogen does nothing to your voice. High T elongates the vocal chords, but the opposite doesn’t happen unfortunately.
