caitlyn jenner....cute or not?

[dreamon]

I went to the Opening Day at the Del Mar race track today and saw her... she looks great in person!

[ed_jaxon]

She looks much better than she did as a plasticized man.

Anyone else find the voice somewhat disconcerting?

Bella and Kelly were talking about this exact same thing over on Facebook.

Worst tranny voice ever. CJ spent all that time looking cute but forgot one of the most IMO important aspects of a successful transition, her voice.

Hearing Caitlyn at the ESPYs was a nightmare and the reason I think she caught so much heat from her haters.

To me it sounds like she didn't work on her voice at all.

NO!!!!

[francisfkudrow]

For a 65 year old Republican, she's not bad looking. I guess it helps to be a millionaire.

Seriously though, I do support her, and hope that she will continue to be a positive spokesperson for the trans community.

Voice Feminization


Transgender voice changing, which is also known as feminization laryngoplasty is a complicated process that requires three factors to achieve success. A strong understanding of the process will give you the greatest chances of achieving a voice that sounds natural and is perceived as female by others. Surgery to raise the pitch of the voice is relatively straight forward in most patients in experienced hands. Having the final voice perceived as being female, versus just a higher pitched male voice, goes well beyond pitch-raising surgery. The first step is understanding the differences between "pitch" versus "voice" versus "speech." The vocal cords are simply 'sound generators'. Pitch is the rate at which the vocal cords vibrate, and determines the frequency of a sound produced. Pitch is essentially ALL that the voicebox (larynx) does. The pitch at which we speak is called the speaking fundamental frequency (SFF) and the array of pitches that our larynx can produce is range. An untrained male voice usually has a little over an octave of range, which are 12 notes on a piano. Voice is what results as we mold that sound. Voice is shaped by the size and shape of our throats, mouth, nose and sinuses, giving it resonance, just like the size and shape of a piano gives that sound character. The "voice" or sound of an upright piano would sound different than that of a concert grand piano even if the same note is being played. It is important to understand that the resonators of your voice, the shape of the throat, mouth, and sinuses, can not be changed in feminization laryngoplasty. Even gender reassignment surgery and/or facial feminization cosmetic surgery can not change these resonators. Assessing these areas pre-operatively are vital to predicting how the voice might sound, and be perceived, afterwards.

Next, voice is shaped into words and sentences. This is speech. A genetic female uses a different part of the brain to produce speech than a genetic male, and has a certain sing-song quality called prosody.
