23 Aug Started Voice Therapy This Week
Hi Everyone,
Very, very, busy week, but not a lot of transition related progress, and that’s OK! I think I was starting to push the envelope on the transition timeline; what’s the rush? But I did start voice therapy this week, and if to me, this is one of the cornerstones of my pre-coming out strategy.
I have a very low and monotone voice with a heavy Philadelphia accent, so I am going to need a lot of voice work. Unfortunately there is no magic bullet for voice training, just lots of hard work and dedication over at least a six month time period, but I’m up for the challenge, and if I ever have any hopes of going full time and being accepted at any level, I must fix my voice. The good news is that I found a really great voice therapist with a lot of experience with transgender folk, so I’m looking forward to our work together.
In other news, I’m still waiting for my new Birth Certificate to arrive so that I can get my DOB and Gender Marker changed on my Driver’s License, and so I can start my legal name change.
So that’s all on the transition front for now, so now for something completely different:
My Dwarf Fruit Tree Collection
Two Dwarf Hardy Banana Trees, My Dwarf Lemon Tree, My Really Tiny Lime Tree, and of course, Pineapplehenge!
Have a Great Week,
Love,
Friday
