Thank you soooo much for existing! I just found out about your channel yesterday and I’ve been binge watching your videos and I can’t tell you how much it means to me to see another Asian non-binary person on here. I’m planning on taking my first steps in transitioning and everything you’ve put out has been incredibly helpful
hi! that makes me so so happy. thank you for sharing that with me! i’m so proud of you for starting your own journey. you are so brave!! keep being you! ❤️🌈
I'm very voice dysphoric. I had to record a presentation for my online class this semester and when I listened back to it to make sure it recorded correctly, I kinda had a little shock moment and thought "wow, I sound like a teenager before the voice drop", because in my head, I already think of myself as not being a woman. This instance made it clear to me that I should look into transitioning. I have written to a psychologist, but it will take a few months before anything will happen. I never noticed how much of my behaviour around me being uncomfortable with my body is just dysphoria. I was under the impression that it's normal, lmao. I am also planning on going low T, because I don't feel that I'm a man either, currently I am only really sure that I'm not what my body is making me look like.
My dysphoria is probably the worst in relation to my voice out of everything. Most of the times I get called ma'am are when I'm on the phone D: Good luck on your journey with T!
O nah there’s DEF a difference.. I’ve been following u since u first started and I even here a drop from that.. I feel u tho because I’m a year on t and I feel the same way.. but like u said I talked to somebody I haven’t talked to in a while and they asked me if I was sick lol I was like nah just t juice 😂 love your content btw 👌🏽
Also - two comments here! I just started on T and can't tell whether I have that "throat tickle" or whether I just don't drink enough water. It's a weird thing!
Life is like that holiday where everyone gets presents: I wake up and either I get to open a present (experience a new change) or I get to continue to be excited to open the presents. I am finally happy on T and every day is a gift
I'm working on get on low dose T right now but this reminded me of when I went to get my haircut by the same guy who I went to before I started binding after top surgery and his reaction was "you lost weight" lol...I did, just...only in my chest...and surgically.
Regarding your comment about the traffic noise and open window: I record on my patio and have started using a lav mic that connects directly into my laptop (which I use to record). If you record on a phone, there are cheap lav mics that connect to your phone as well.
You’ve mentioned before that you rely on using your voice and talking to someone else while using a public women’s bathroom (a technique that I also employ if not just for my own sake to ease my own anxiety), has your access to that method changed at all as your voice has changed?
I love your videos and especially your positivity! For me I'd love to have some of the changes, like a more masculine body shape + easier to build muscles. Voice drop seems quite interesting but also a bit scary if it won't go back if I decide I don't like it.... also I don't wanna necessarily get more facial hair, pimples or a change of my face... so much to think of. Also I have a binder which I like quite a lot, and having a masculine upper body I'd love as well. But to go through surgery is not the easiest thing, I wonder how to know what's right
Do you think the "pushing" has to do with talking in a higher register than natural for your new vocal chords? (Ie usually people pre-T/women talk from a higher point in their throat compared to cis males)
It's weird to compare how much your voice has changed on low dose T. I know mine has changed a lot just with being 6 months on low dose T. But it's gradual so people who are in your life on a regular basis may not notice as much.

Out of context, but really love your shirt! :)
Haha, wrote that comment while watching and then you go and comment at the end about the shirt in the video...
Thank you for sharing your experience! Im thinking of starting t and I'm anxious about this dramatic vocal change because I'm closeted

I freaking love that shirt. I wish I could get one with all the things that I am.

i was gonna ask in a stream but got nervous so this came at a great time lol

You could take finesteride with T, that will prevent hair changes and bottom growth
Thanks for your comment! Turned out I got top surgery a year ago and couldn't be happier with the results

Congrats on the YT partnership, awesome :), maybe one day that'll happen for me, haha.
