San Francisco State University created a clinic to help transgender students alter their voices to match their gender identity.
The clinic's program, spearheaded by Assistant Professor of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences Anusha Sundarrajan, will provide resources to nonbinary and transgender students with exercises and consultation to achieve their preferred voice tonality. According to the university, exercises include having students hum through a straw.
“With our clinic, we provide a nonjudgmental space where our participants can find a voice that defines who they are,” Sundarrajan said. “We want to create a safe and open environment for all our participants.”

Hum through a straw? I thought they were outlawed.
ReplyDeleteThe last time I spoke to my Transgender brother, I said we will not have a conversation if he is going to continue to try and sound like Micheal Jackson. His voice changed immediately. Not willing to kowtow to people who like to pretend does not make me ignorant. Ignorance is expecting everyone else to participate in another's delusion. Dressing like a girl, doesn't make you one, and we have no obligation to participate in mental illness. In my case, my brother clearly stated minutes earlier, his ex wife made him that way. When he stated that, I was officially relieved of having to participate in his sexual fantasy. Mom claims she didn't hear it, but she was right there. She is a democrat. It was Thanksgiving too. He brought up his sexuality, not me. I told him to forever address me as Spider-man if I have to call him by his misspelled female name. One of my favorite Thanksgivings. Mom later contacted me and stated I get everything and it is up to me to distribute to my brother what I deem fit. He hasn't paid child support ever. He will get nothing as it will all be claimed by his kids that he hasn't seen since the time of the DC sniper.
ReplyDeleteThe point of my story. Those people are batsh!t crazy and don't deserve any recognition other than to tell them to take crazy somewhere else. Were supposedly not allowed to speak ill of Trans people, but the minute he started mouthing off about my Christian faith, I disowned him, and he knows why. He goes on Facebook to bash Christian beliefs daily. The absolute irony? He graduated from Valley Forge Christian College, the second worst college in all of America, for the return on earnings from alumni. He is also head of human services for Comcast, but he HATES Christians!
Sorry for your loss...
DeleteLike to see what they do for the Adams Apple.

DeleteWhat if I want to sound like an attack helicopter?
ReplyDeleteIf we don't teach our children to follow Christ, the world will teach them not to, for “the whole world lies in wickedness” (1 John 5:19
ReplyDelete7:37, Unless you were Micheal Winslow, I would consider you just as stupid as your question. Was that supposed to be funny? Did you "LOL" by yourself? Sad.
ReplyDeleteHi, I would like to sound like Robert Plant when I sing. Thanks you
ReplyDeleteThey're then sent to LA to learn to speak Valley Girl.
ReplyDeleteIt's called an acting class. Sheesh.
ReplyDeleteHey, their voices aren't wrong, it's their mental illness that is wrong.
ReplyDeleteIf they are nutered that will change their voices but you see they are only guys dressing as women and don't want to go the full step. Bruce Jenner is still plumbed as he was born he is too scared to go all the way.
