  • A talk about the crucial function of our voice as part of our identity, and what that means to people who have transitioned from one gender to another. Singing, it turns out, is a really powerful tool in making changes, as is an acceptance of vulnerability.
    Gillie Stoneham is a voice therapist and voice coach, and has worked
    for many years, both clinically in the field of gender identity and with
    professional voice users. Her work draws on her own passion for both
    singing and spoken voice and understanding the power of voice in
    expressing emotion and identity.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    I practice my voice while I'm at work! I just train it to where I like it but I'm still a little iffy about the right pitch. Got inflection down. It's so wonderful to hear my girl voice and really helps me pass. It's really good for my dysphoria.

    Wonderful talk and very inspiring, I had settled into complacency and this has certainly inspired me and given me hope.

    I have Gillie Stoneham's book and it is fantastic, I used it together with my voice therapist, but difficult to master, the time to practice is lacking me.

      I wish you the best. Remember that your voice does not determine your gender.

    You sure your not training us for AI technology aka robots? Using our kids as a way to BETTER ACCEPT THE NON BINARY WHATEVER. Its a great analogy to try to EXPLAIN changing the human ide identity...lmao

      seeing as robots that are created have voices fitting in with stereotypes of a binary system your argument is non sequitor

      You can't brainwash someone into faking their gender expression for your comfort, that doesn't work

      This is a question of identity, and it's damn important. Yes it's respectful to the person to support their identity. If you think it's a mental illness, you are misinformed.

    When the mind do not match the body, why is it the body that is required to change ? The physical is irrefutable.

      Because you can't change the brain without changing who they actually are.
