I mean, some people figure it out before puberty, but it's faster than me at 40! And there are many people transitioning much later still. Enjoy being young and pretty!

There is still time

Welcome :3

Good job figuring it out early! I hope everything goes well.

Now if only my wife was attracted to women things would be perfect.

Tell me about it! Although mine hasn't seen much in me as a man (at least after 30), so maybe I'll have more luck without the disguise :3

Had my appointment at the gender clinic at last! Blood test to check my karotype, then if there are no problems he'll prescribe as much injectable estradiol, progesterone and so on as I want 😁 A much better result than I was expecting -- I can live with a few weeks' wait until I get the results.

Dr: "Have you tried more feminine clothes, make up and so on?"
Me, wearing full foundation, eyeliner and mascara: natural-style make up success! Guess my current not-too-obvious style is actually not-feminine-at-all...

Howdy ma'am!

In other news, flagging down a store attendant and asking (in my best girl voice) if they had any stock left was probably the scariest thing I've ever done.

Just as you say - if I concentrate I can (sometimes) get a really good bright sound, but maintaining it is going to take a lot of practice so I can do it without thinking. I like the idea of a "reset" word; I'm going to try that going forward.

Yeah, I can control resonance but if I don't concentrate the finer points (tongue, lips, sharpness etc) tend to drift back to my old voice.

A practice space sounds fun!

There sure are! TransVoiceLessons is pretty well known.

Whaaaa... that's awesome! Way to go!
