  • You’re struggling from the same issue that I am only now starting to overcome: since you’ve tried to fem your voice so much, you can’t see that you’re voice is perfectly passing and you get insecure because of that. The thing that helped me was someone random on the phone calling me “miss” without me telling me their name at a time when I wasn’t even trying hard to do a fem voice. (Best Spam/Phishing call I ever received btw)

    So if you keep talking like this and can sustain a voice like this for longer and longer then congrats: you have a new amazing girl voice.

    For me, I didn’t manage to sustain my “perfect” girl voice (but I also didn’t try too hard) so I slipped into a passing but low feminin voice which may even fit me better since I feel like it’s more natural (and for NB reasons). So don’t worry if that specific tonality isn’t sustainable for long















  • Squished Fly (she/they)toTransFuta is a slur and shouldn't be used.

    Probably a hot take but I disagree, it’s the same issue as the whole “trap is a slur” situation that I also disagree with.

    The issue is that, if the word is used against a trans woman without bottom surgery, it’s a term that might not fit or be appropriate. With trap, it’s just straight up misgendering, but it might fit someone who still identifies as male. With futa, (if I underatand your point) it might carry a lot of sexual meaning with it which could be inappropriate.

    It’s an issue with “who uses the word to describe who”, and therefore isn’t in my eyes a slur.

    Edit: clarification
