[@SkylarConover]

‘Heat from fire, fire from heat,’ is a phrase that helps with voice training! The ‘h’ sound helps open up the wind pipe to help reduce strain and the ‘e’ sound helps brighten the voice! The open vowel sound from ‘fire’ helps translate that brightness from the ‘e’ sound to your other vowels so your brightness is more consistent! We trans women repeat that phrase every time we need to ‘reset’ our voice so we don’t accidentally sound like a dude.

[@sunsetskye483]

So would the opposite work if I’m trying to sound masculine?

[@SkylarConover]

@@sunsetskye483 I’m honestly not sure! I researched a couple of videos to help answer this and it seems the main thing that works in reverse is mouth shape. Trans women are taught to try to make our mouths smaller by raising our tongue and larynx in order to increase the brightness. Therefore, opening up the back of your mouth in a yawn shape should help darken the tone of the voice and should lend itself to androgyny/masculinity. You’ll still want to avoid straining but it’s especially important with us trans women because as we go higher with our pitch, our bodies tend to tense up more which makes our voices sound fake or forced. If your voice is strained, it doesn’t sound natural. So keep a relaxed airway and open the back of your mouth and it should help considerably!

Aight OT, since there's nothing too objectionable to answer this time around: - STP is a Stand-To-Pee Device. Trans men use it for... situations that I hope are obvious enough not to need explanation. (EDIT: I'd also add that it is compatible with any AFAB peeing situation, so not strictly "trans men", and is often used by outdoors-y types.) - "Heat from fire, fire from heat" is phrase repeated during a popular trans-oriented voice retraining exercise that can be found on youtube. - SCPs are... okay this one's a longer explanation if you're unfamiliar. Short version is they're cursed artifacts, cryptids, supernatural locales and other anomalous phenomena whose characteristics and containment procedures are documented in "declassified files" on a canonized wiki on the internet, which are allegedly being kept secure by a shadowy organization intent on maintaining normalcy. Think of it like an internet era crowd-sourced eldritch horror mythos, in the stylings of Warehouse 13 or S.H.I.E.L.D., and expect regular nightmare fuel if you dive into it. SCP-113 specifically, is a magic(?) gemstone that permanently swaps your chromosomal sex and associated physical characteristics in under two minutes if you touch it; no surgery or hormone therapy, no effect on your brain. The "dangerous" part is that if you try to use it more than once in quick succession, you have an increasing chance of it making an "oopsy". Y'know how you never want to hear your surgeon say "oops"? You get the idea. - OT glossing over *Abigail Thorn* of PhilosophyTube at 12:30 hurts my soul. The Trans Princess of TERF Island.

[@thaliagubantes6811]

For anyone curious on SCP 113, here's a bit from the wiki and a TLDR: SCP-113 resembles a small, polished piece of red jasper. Analysis shows that SCP-113 is not composed of jasper, but [REDACTED] composition similar to that of other recovered objects. When SCP-113 comes in direct contact with the flesh of an organism possessing sex chromosomes, the organism's physical characteristics associated with gender and biological sex are transformed (including genetics and secondary sexual characteristics), either reversed or altered. This process occurs in four stages: Stage 1: Lasts approximately 0.2 seconds. SCP-113 bonds with the cells that it touches and induces an unidentified chemical change. This process causes tissue damage similar to mild burns, and SCP-113 cannot be removed from contact with the subject until all stages complete. Stage 2: Lasts approximately 20 seconds. SCP-113 emits a low-intensity electromagnetic wave which travels through the subject's body. Subjects may experience nausea and vomiting, along with a stinging sensation throughout the body. Stage 3: Lasts approximately 60 seconds. Throughout this stage, the subject's cellular makeup is temporarily transformed. Altered cell composition ranges widely from being unidentifiable as human, to a unique variation of partially-differentiated stem cells. The subject will experience intense stimulation of all sensory nerves during the final 20 seconds of this stage, and describe this part of the process as extremely painful. Subjects in poor health may die of shock in this stage. At the end of this stage, the subject's biological sex is permanently altered. In standard cases, the subject's biological sex will be changed to the opposite biological sex. All primary and secondary sexual characteristics are altered accordingly. Stage 4: SCP-113 disengages from the subject and becomes inert. Gender identity of human subjects is not typically altered by SCP-113. In subjects with nonstandard gender identities (typically gender identities which do not match their pre-exposure biological sex), this usually results in positive psychological effects. In subjects with standard gender identities (male/female, matching pre-exposure biological sex), psychological effects are usually negative. These appear to be natural psychological reactions, and not an anomalous effect of SCP-113. *TLDR: touch stone get hurt but sex change gender same*

OT's teacher: until told otherwise, use 'they' to refer to people Me: has taught my English teacher 'they' can be used in a singular manner when a gender isn't specified, backed up by big-name dictionaries. (Said teacher told me later that when going over my writing they kept almost marking stuff I wrote as wrong because I used singular they and having to stop themselves from doing so. I really hope if anyone else asks they now say it's an option, even if I don't expect them to use or introduce it themselves...)

[@John_Weiss]

Well, 'you' is actually the 2nd-person _plural_ pronoun, so if anyone tells you that you can't use "they" as a singular pronoun, demand that they only use "you" for groups of people and return to using "thou" for the singular. You can also slap them with, "It's 'you/ye', like 'I/me' … or dost thou say, 'He gave I a ride to school'?"

In an effort to damage control, I was just trying to get the three hellions out of there. I tried to ask the mom if she could watch the kids so I could go clean up after them and she said I should be able to manage it, besides, she was busy and they have people they pay to clean the bathrooms. She wasn't busy, she was just sitting and having coffee and gossiping with other church moms. Needless to say that once my contract was done, I was out of there.

They were once tricked by our sarcastic scientist into holding a giant leaf over their head to protect from carnivorous flowers. They were the only one with a leaf. They were supposed to be “strategically gender fluid” (bc I found out that the sex change potion exists and was like “well I was going to do an enby anyways and they’ll need all the help they can get with diplomacy, why not let them change to whichever sex is considered “better” on each planet?”) buuut then the GM decided that there wouldn’t be sexism lol. I figured the original plan could go into their backstory to become how they found out they like they/them. So now they just use any pronouns, but the only one who calls them anything but they/them is me when I occasionally call them she/her.

Fun game, even with a first level Drow. So when I joined a campaign I opted for a female Drow - she was insanely powerful by the end of that campaign.

@@annoyanceking i once had an aasimar warlock with a fiend pact. Since they were an aasimar they had an angelic guide. But they also now had a demon patron. So the magics of the two collided and interacted and warped so that the female aasimar now had two other consciousnesses in her body: one a piece of the angelic guide, one a piece of the demon lord, whilst no longer being connected to the actual entities, and still having access to their power. All 3 are in control of the body, and while the demon and angel parts usually cancel each other out so the original can act, and so that the demon part doesn't murder everyone in the night, they can all speak freely (unless they try to talk at the same time, because there's only one mouth and attempting to say multiple things at once in one regular body results in gibberish). They now use they/them pronouns, (the aasimar is female the angel is agender, and the demon is a demiboy, so there's that, but even if they had the same gender identities they refer to themselves in the plural anyways), and go by Legion. Everyone else in the party just assumes their insane, which is intentional on my part. Also that's the second time in a row I intentionally did that.

Only the bottom floor has accessible toilets, because in their heads you only need them on floors with employees in wheelchairs. Next ladies room was one floor up or down. Couldn't take the stairs, because ouch. Elevators were very slow, and as much of a hike as the toilets. By the time I got there, I could go to the gents' or pee in the elevator, and the latter had cameras. The men's room was cleaner, mostly because I worked someplace where real men don't sit to pee, so the stalls got used rarely. Scared the frick out of some male coworkers by just opening the stall door when they thought they were alone in the room. I also learned that, while men's toilets look clean, a frightening number of men do not wash their hands after using a urinal. Like, adult, upstanding men. With kids. And mortgages. Earning 60k a year. I was almost grateful to return to the ladies' room, where, yes, there was occasionally blood on the walls, but at least you could see the ick and no one gave you the side-eye for knowing how to operate the towel dispenser.

I know there are more supportive parents who wholeheartedly adopt the idea. Still, my Dad overcomes his cognitive dissonance each and every time to show his kids he loves them. It is the bare minimum, and it's pathetic that other parents can't get onto his level. Edit: My little sister corrected me, He drove her in the parade. He was not on the sidelines, he was in it. Something about them sitting up in the back of the convertible, proudly swinging their flags.

For anyone wondering still, SCP-113 is an anomalous creature contained by the SCP foundation that can change the gender characteristics and biological sex of anyone who touches it. Trans SCP staff are permitted to use SCP-113, within reason, to transition. The process last about a minute and a half, and is extremely painful, such as subjects in poor health have been killed before it’s duration ends. While biological sex and characteristics are changed, the subject’s gender identity remains the same. Most often, their sex is reversed, but there have been rare occasions of other occurrences.

Imagine feeling this body and how others address to you so wrong that earring your own name feels like been stabbed” With my parents it worked, my mother could even relate (to some extent of course) because her mother once cut her hair so short she felt like a boy and she cried a lot...

The one about bathrooms reminded me. I'm a full time traveler, transmale/NB Masc. I have long hair and I let it down before going to a public bathroom. Especially with facemasks, I'm just hair and eyes. Then I can use whichever one is cleaner. Often before anyone even looks at me funny. Only started doing this after seeing true horrors, but frankly would recommend if you feel safe enough. Bathrooms are for pooping/peeing/puking in the toilet, and washing your hands in the sink for at least 20 seconds. Regardless of labels on doors, bathrooms are not gendered. Do your business, clean up, and move on

There's also a goddess in D&D that allows priests to change their sex. The drow goddess Eilistraee originally only took women as part of her clergy, but later would allow men to join. For a man to join the clergy, they had to undergo something called the Changedance that magically altered their body to live as a woman for at least a month. This change was not just physical, but mental as well.

Update, if anybody cares: My older sister switched immediately upon learning my new name and pronouns, like IMMEDIATELY, no stumbles or habit-breaking transitionary period. She invited me to a party with some friends, introduced me as her brother consistently, and at one point pulled me aside to ask if I needed to duck off for a binder break. During the family get together where all the cousins with nearby birthdays celebrated together, she kept looking my mom dead in the eyes and almost *aggressively* found every excuse to call me by name or mention that she has more brothers than sisters or otherwise use correctly gendered language to refer to me. I don't know if I had already come out to everyone there yet, but I'll be durned if even the oldest and most conservative relatives weren't too terrifed to contradict her! xD My mom has made a lot more progress in the last three days than in the last year.

Funny D&D story that I’m just gonna slip in here; Some people at my college experience program decided to set up a one time session, since we were stressed out with all the work being piled on us. We made our characters, but the important ones was a dwarf, an elf, and a Dragonborn (I’ve forgotten what it’s called, since it’s been a while. So I hope that’s right.) The DM set it all up so we were trapped in a tower. Deciding to be stupid and just have a bit of fun with it, I decided my character, the Dragonborn, would pick up the dwarf and throw them at the main door to try to break it open so we could leave. After a lot of coaxing for the DM to let us, we did it. Rolled a 7, so the door didn’t break, but it bent. Our brilliant minds told us that this was the key to escaping. The elf volunteered to be next while the two others, excluding the dwarf, went up the stairs to investigate the rest of the tower. It took a lot of throwing, a lot of damage, but we succeeded and escaped. I wasn’t invited to play another round after the program
