Transgender Voice and Communication - 03/07/19
, Mark S. Courey, MDRésumé |
Voice is a complex marker for gender and pivotal to the gender reassignment process. The goal of the transgender patient is to achieve a voice and communication style that is congruent with their gender identity. Voice and speech therapy are fundamental for successful transition.
