Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

I was following some videos which advised swallowing to feel the larynx and Adam's apple move, which I could feel but I couldn't figure out how to move it manually. The humming into my head was a lot more intuitive and I feel more in command of that
I know it'll take time but that it's possible. It's just sucky to actually have to have some actual discipline, everything else in my transition has felt very easy mechanically even if it was scary
Fair enough, theres a lot thats easier. Like waiting for HRT to kick in is a little easier. But it takes a lot of moxie and gumption and discipline to actually get there and stay on top of meds schedules.
Getting a more femme voice helps so much with passing if thats your goal, but I also personally like that I can listen to myself now and dont cringe when I hear a recording or hear myself repeat on delay from someones phone or whatever. There was a lot of relief that comes when Im not feeling that reflexive dysphoria and passing is like a very sweet and welcome side effect for me.
Idk I get most of my meds in the mail and sticking myself is pretty easy. Plus the ladies at my pharmacy who give me my valerate have been nice
Thankfully I don't have to hear myself speak too often, but sometimes I'll get that phone delay and it's no bueno ;_;
