Meanings
-
(uncountable) Transgender or gender-affirming voice therapy; the process of altering one's voice, through practice, to align with one's gender identity.
More directly, voice therapies, both nonsurgical and surgical, can help a transgender person change their vocal characteristics, aligning them with their gender identity. Voice training is less costly and invasive than a throat operation, making it a more common starting point.
