Blantantly speaking: one common scenario is "Need Voices of both gender binaries can't get stuck in new voice (cd/trans/en femme/en man)....ain't got time for that."
In your exsperiance how does a person not get stuck in the voice of transition/cd Gender?
How does one not injure Vocal Chords!
Tips, tequnique etc.

Hi Sara 🙋‍♀️ Welcome to Susan's Place!  I'm Jessica.  As for myself, I'm in the beginning stages of feminizing my voice. I think if you haven't had surgery, with practice you may be able to create your voice in both ranges.  Not sure how vocal chords react though.

I see your new here, so I'll post some links that may help you get better acquainted with the site. Then join in on a topic you find interesting and learn and share.

Please feel free to stop by the Introductions Forum to tell the members about yourself!

To get a better handle on this topic I recommend reading and interacting with the Voice Therapy and Surgery forum. 

Pitch doesn't have to be binary male or female.  A few people are naturally in the gender neutral range and some are able to land there with practice.  Pitch is only half of the issue - there is also resonance and inflection.
