Abstract

Voice issues for male-to-female transsexuals represent a notable challenge for both those undergoing gender reassignment surgery and the speech pathologists that help them to make this transition. A review of the scant literature that is available on voice therapy for transsexuals demonstrates that lessening pharyngeal tension to help achieve optimal pitch is the most widely used technique to assist individuals after gender reassignment surgery. Utilizing this as a basis for investigation, this research considers the methods used by speech pathologists to help male-to-female transsexuals achieve optimal pitch.
The Technique
Originators of the Technique(s)
The use of lessening pharyngeal tension to help achieve optimal pitch to help male-to-female transsexuals sound more feminine was first reported in the literature by Kalra (1976). In this investigation, the results of voice therapy given to a 17-year-old male that had undergone gender reassignment surgery to become a female are reported.
