"For the first time, researchers have grown vocal cord tissue in the lab that can produce sound when transplanted into animals. Importantly, the bioengineered tissue showed no signs of being rejected by animal models, which makes it a good candidate for future transplants to give a voice back to those with vocal cord damage as a result of illness or surgery."

"The future is now thanks to science!"
While I do mean this, points to those who get the reference. ;)

I would love to be able to get cords that would allow me to have the proper resonance. Everyone seems to focus on pitch, which is not what gets you misgendered.
