Hai everybody! :3

We haven't been around much lately, but we've missed you all <3

As much as we enjoy talking about electromagnetism and the like, we're really feeling trans joy as the theme for this mega post. And we'd love to hear some of the things that have brought you all some joy lately (without doxxing yourselves of course).

Something that is bringing us a lot of joy right now is seeing the local trans community finding each other and making joy for ourselves. They're planning events, going out, finding love and friendship, and refusing to allow our circumstances prevent us from enjoying life and having fun as much as possible. And we're part of it! We've been doing the same! And it doesn't just make this life tolerable in the face of all the bad stuff happening, it's making this life beautiful and filled with love and happiness.

In order to try to get back in the habit of participating here, we're going to try to at least post one bit of trans joy every day here this week.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

Graduated from voice lessons! Woooooo 🥳

I do absolutely sound better and pass better vocally when Im mad, when Im happy, when Im tired, when I have to yell at someone who doesn't have their hearing aids in, when I cough or sneeze... I made heaps of progress with a voice coach over 6 months. It did end up costing quite a bit over alllll the lessons. It was worth it to me and I had the money to spend, but I know that can be a real barrier for people.

I think its possible to do this without a coach - you'd just have to be serious about practicing daily. And find good resources. The Big Dog, Little Dog thing does work but you have to do it. Raising your larynx works but same deal. Shortening vocal tract, that all works. All the exercises you can find online and watch videos to see examples. And the biggest hump is definitely "getting over it"/dealing with feeling cringe and dysphoric and practicing anyway. This is not to be underestimated, for sure, not downplaying that part.

It was also nice to have a coach to listen and give feedback but if I didn't have that, I had a lot of my friends all of whom are trans femme too which is also a big bonus and makes the whole thing much easier.

Ooh congrats!! Reminds me I got to look into that as its covered by my insurance.
I've tried to do it myself a little bit but could never keep it up for more than two days.

That's so good, congrats!

I'm trying to take on this journey too and I think I've been having some progress, but doing it alone is pretty hard, I get pretty lost some of the time, like absolutely unsure if I'm doing it right or getting any closer.

My voice was never that masculine, at least not the way I use it, so I guess it should be a little easier.
