Anytime honey I just wish I could really help but for now hopefully it helps a little that I believe in you so completely that when the doubters finally see you they are gonna feel so dumb at not seeing you sooner.

In the end as long as you are ok then I'm ok. Give others as long as you like so long as they behave or I'll end up making an extra trip to deliver an epic scolding of biblical proportions (ok I overreact and am overprotective sue me lol).

Hell hath no fury and all that

Take care and sleep well knowing you are safe and you are loved x

Hey all,
christine, I'm happy to hear your dad at least knows now. even if he's not taking it well. it can be a difficult thing for dads. Anybody really but sometimes dads have an especially hard time with it. take care and stay strong.

Christine, just saw your profile pic. Only one word comes to mind. Beautiful!  So happy for you!

Safe trip home girl!

Thank you

Hey girls, not sure if you are still paying attention to this thread but I thought I would post a short update.

I started voice therapy. Finally working on my new voice. most of the sessions are group sessions but it's 4 people including me so it's not that bad.. Anyway this last week we had some excercises on finding a pitch. just reading different things. I asked how high we should try doing it and she said just do what you can comfortable do. I don't really have any concept of pitch and I don't really hear it and process it. I mean in terms of duplicating it.  if that makes any sense. Anyway so I did it and she recorded it. I could comfortably talk at 220 Mhz without any real effort. Also my normal male speaking pitch is 143/144 MHz according to an earlier assessment. so I'm normally at the high end of the male range. I think it's exciting gives me lots of hope that pitch wise my voice can be well within the female range.

I had my second appointment at the gender clinic last week. at the first appointment he said there was a checklist of things to apply for funding. So we have been working towards that. had my second opinion and she had no concerns. so that was good. the one thing I was trying to figure out was how I could meet was the requirement for one year of documented RLE. then I had the thought of my name change and my new birth certificate since it shows gender. so i mentioned it to him and he was like yes that would work. So, at the end of the appointment he said he saw no reason not to move forwards on applying for funding. so that was super exciting. until he called me and said that he talked to the government and they said that "while her RLE might have began then we dont consider it began until the first time she saw you." so that sucks. he said he would keep working on it. so hopefully we can find a way. otherwise that sets me back 6 months.   

Hey ladies,  just wanted to let yoi all know I'm still alive and kicking,  and.... Screaming.... I'll be on more when I have more time... Love and miss you all!!!

Hey Sarah and Tasha :') good to hear from you girls.
It's a great thing to start voice therapy Sarah, I will start practicing very soon, house mate leaves in maybe like a week now :').
And hope you manage to get things organised for your funding, exciting times.
I am still living the hidden life, no one knows I exist yet, it's all coming to a head though.

Yup still watching the thread. You know me I'm always the last to leave a party lol.

Glad voice stuff going so well and feeling your pain on RLE paper trail etc

I really gotta a run though just woke up and got 35 mins to get ready and leave for work. Panic!!!!!!!!

Ttfn x

ok now I'm at work I can reply better :lol:

Often thought back to this thread once it had gone quiet wishing a new post would go up and what can I say apart from yay

Voice stuff is fun. Something just kinda clicked recently and after I played with the Voice Pitch Analyser app I realised I can basically "park" my voice in different ranges now so I've stuck it in the middle of the female range. Whenever I talk it's just there without thinking; it's cool. No idea how accurate it is but the starting reads feel right as before I came off my meds my voice was top of the androgynous range which I considered to be good enough and hitting the female range to be just another impossible dream like being a foot shorter etc lol

The below test were a couple of minutes apart.... guess I do have multiple voices available now.






Background noise can be annoying as it picks up everything.

Got an experimental group speech therapy thing tomorrow so I guess I'll get a proper opinion on my new voice soon.

Fingers crossed for your funding Sarah but it does sound very promising.
Oh and just noticed your 220hz being comfy very nice indeed.

For Tash kicking and screaming now that could be good or bad depending on the situ

Fun times ahead for Christine I can feel the energy building up from here and it gets me all excited and goosebumpy  watch out world.

Always love hearing from y'all and glad still here.

What app is that Jerrica?
