voice resources for trans people on T
I'm researching this a little anyway, so I'll make this a thread of helpful resources about voice changes and voice therapy for trans men and other trans people on T.
The Good Men Project has this summary of a study of 30 trans men's voices. They found T was typically very successful at bringing the voice into the average cis male range, but other aspects of making the voice sound masculine need voice therapy.

Here's the study itself, in Scientific Reports: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-82134-2

@dragonmagic What medication? Have you checked goodrx, or the drug manufacturer's website, for a coupon?
@KS hapbirf!
@fluttergirly I loved Black/White for this very reason (also because it was good)
@dragonmagic it's public domain so there are a number of free audiobook versions which might be easier to understand than straight TTS
@fluttergirly looking great!!
re: videogame gore reference but not explicit
@Nine Sadly, it doesn't seem so :( The Switch version has the blood in all regions. They even made a version with rainbow blood specifically for the trailers and that's not an option either
re: videogame gore reference but not explicit
@Nine I really really like how in the Japanese version of No More Heroes, enemies turn into ash rather than blood. it looks so much cooler! I wish it were an option in the US versions
@Xkeeper unfortunately all of the info on the rom and what all the options do is on a discord server 🙃 but there's stuff like starting with the bike, using B/W exp, splitting exp among all party members, fishing/breeding always working, viewable gender in battle, viewable DV/EV values on stats screen, being alerted when a desired pokedex entry is on the current map, etc, all toggleable in-game
@Xkeeper "“Crystal Speedchoice” ROM is almost identical to the original Pokemon Crystal game, with some quality of life changes - the most notable ones being instant text if you hold A or B and the Dragon’s Den quest
to get the RisingBadge not being necessary, since Clair gives you the RisingBadge
immediately (which makes HM 06 - Whirlpool, effectively optional). Another key difference is
being able to fly between Johto and Kanto,. There are some other customizable options."
@Xkeeper https://github.com/Dabomstew/pokecrystal-speedchoice/releases has an .ips version, and you can turn the randomization stuff off sing the in-game menu and just get the quality of life stuff
@Xkeeper the "speedchoice" rom has a lot of quality of life stuff built in, including a manually settable starting clock
@dragonmagic sometimes there are closed captions for the dub track but usually the subtitle menu option subtitles are a different translation from the dub's, yeah
I'm gonna share this again because I'm still in awe my hands were able to create this
OK so now that people are here:
