This commenter says, “wait, you can be cis or trans or neither? how does neither work? Isn’t it an either/or thing?” I’m no expert on the philosophy of gender, so this is simply my understanding of things. But my working definition of a transgender person is someone who identifies as a gender ...

This commenter on TikTok says, “So you know how “T voice” is something that is audible to other queer people? Could you explain what the features of that voice are?” The “T voice” that this commenter is referring to is the trans-masculine specific voice that some people get as a result of taki...

 For my next couple of posts, I want to talk about the reasons why people resist starting a trans voice practice. There's a little bit of a psychological hurdle that can impede the beginning of a practice and there are very simple ways to get over that. So today, I want to talk about the boun...

I've got a scorching hot take for my readers today! If, like me, you regularly wade in the waters of online trans discourse, then you are probably very familiar with this concept: you don't need to transition to be trans. I have long been a firm believer in this! You can just know you're not th...

I think it's a little taboo to talk about grief and hormone replacement therapy in the trans community. We're already fighting for our lives and working hard every day to gain acceptance, it feels like a major transgression to imply that there might be doubts along the path of medical transition....

A few months ago, I was extremely honoured to be asked to write an opinion piece for CBC Montreal. I'm always excited for any opportunity to talk about the voice and my work, and so of course, I jumped on it. Cut to last week, and the article finally came out! It was given the headline "Everyone...

I got a question on TikTok the other day, asking, "What are some exercises I can do throughout the day every day to feminize my voice as part of my trans voice training?" Of course, the answer to this question varies from person to person, as each person's definition of a "feminine voice" is u...
