Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

I wish I could sing. I can sing a little bit but it’s not great. I have many friends who have amazing singing voices and can carry a tune. Most of them never studied music, it’s a just a natural talent. I would love to be able to go out to karaoke and actually sing a song and have it come out somewhat similar to the original.

I really feel this. I'm a trans woman, and I was in choir and a band pre-transition. I had a great singing voice. But I've completely changed my voice post-transition, and I cannot sing well in the voice and range I want to. I don't want to have to go back to using my old voice, especially as my lower range has gotten worse due to never using it, but also because it would make me incredibly dysphoric. I don't need what I had back, just being an okay singer with a passably feminine singing voice and range would make me incredibly happy. I miss feeling confident with my singing voice. At the very least, my speaking voice sounds great, I just haven't been able to translate that to singing like I want.

Yeah, I knew a professional singer, she never sang outside of work (or if she did she'd be off-key on purpose) because she didn't want to be a performing monkey.

During some intimate moments she would sing quietly, just for me, often right by my ear, and it felt like a magical present that went straight to my heart.

I wish so much that I could give others that sort of gift, but when I try to sing it sounds like somebodys strangling a cat.
