I just experienced this a few days ago, and I almost cried. Only 1 month into HRT. Feels amazing

military academy hijinks and nonsense, MC has the power to “detect the feelings of food and those who prepared it”

also you kind of need to know BlazBlue story and characters for it to make some sense

Oh it’s just a pill bottle of 2mg Estradiol. Noted for next time

Sounds amazing :)

Thanks I appreciate this community so much <3, and I have also misgendered myself recently, with habitual speech patterns too haha. The doubts come and go still, but it is pretty mild now. It mostly just depends on my mood.

For voice training, since I’m a research-aholic and self-motivated, I’ve found plenty of online guides for getting the fundamentals right, raising larynx, resonance, mouth/tongue position, etc.

Here’s some of the guides I’ve followed to various degrees. Warning, some are very theory heavy, but afaict it’s all pretty similar. The main thing is to get into a good daily routine with basic exercises and work your way up.

Unsure yet, I’m just starting off with the recommended doses by my doctor.

Thanks. That’s helpful, I hadn’t run into that yet.

Thanks.

It’s good to know I’m not the only one who felt initially weird about the new pronouns and name.

14/25, almost but sadly no bingo :(

Cute affffff! Slayyy

I’m not an expert but I have some experience now, from learning as a total beginner for about a year.

Nail polish that comes with a good brush helps a decent amount, I really like the ones from ILNP.

Don’t be afraid to make mistakes and start over, you can use a fine tipped dry brush or just paper towel+acetone to fix mistakes. A toothpick or a small wooden dowel can be used to cleanup the edges. Practice practice practice.

And yeah like others have said, it’s better to apply to 2 coats of color, and then maybe a top clear coat.

Hi, congrats!

I find every little bit of self affirmation helps, start small, go at your own pace.

You got this ♡

Thanks. Yea I’m doing ok atm, it’s just a constant nagging that won’t go away

Hell yes, new style unlocked for future me

I’m fighting it with logic and FAX. Eventually my emotions will get it

Similarly, as a new trans-femme I can get this app to show >90% female, and 5% male, just by pitching higher, but my voice clearly just sounds like a softer/lighter masc voice. My base voice isn’t that deep, but it is very raspy and clumsy, so I’ve been struggling too.

@Courtney You got this, just follow the usual guides on resonance and fullness, I only just started recently, but I can tell the resonance stuff helps, and I’m moving in the right direction. Here are the two guides I’ve been following, if it helps.

One thing that really gave me hope is this clip from the first guide: https://clyp.it/xavctl0s

And here’s the frequency difference of the above clip, showing before and after, NOT my voice FYI:

You sound amazing!

This is so cuuuuute

Everyone’s been so supportive, thanks T_T, my thoughts have been a hot mess, just a mix of anxiety and happiness, with moments of lucidity.
