I thought she looked familiar. I love that there's someone out there doing deep dives on insane internet lore.

Cracks me up that Garfunkel & Oats did a song called "Sex with Ducks" that references Ducktales and then she voiced Webby in the reboot.

There's a Jackbox game called Talking Points that is essentially one person reading a presentation as someone makes it up on the fly.

Song is 真夜中のドア ("Stay With Me") by Miki Matsubara, off the Pocket Park album. I went down a city pop rabbit hole during Covid ^^

A slave owner who owned the most active slave wharf, in the most active slave state, made it because he didn't like England saying stop.

I actually kind of hate mine because it's TOO powerful and desensitizes me.

I can't do it. Watching it once was tough, knowing where the character ends up makes it harder. Same with Mad Men, love it but never again.

That was me my entire life until I couldn't take it anymore and started transitioning at 40. It can get better, even in small ways.

Look hon, I totally get you. I started transitioning at 40, 6'1" and ~150 lbs. overweight, deep voice and all. I'm never gonna look like the little girl I wanted to be growing up, I'm gonna look like my aunt at best. But I feel comfortable in my skin, loved by my found family (who are all my age and going through the same things), and even tho I have bad days where I mourn the girl I was SUPPOSED to be, my worst days as ME are better than my best days as him. Love you, sister. You'll there!

There was even a trans character who was male in the real world but female in the Matrix. Switch. Studio demanded their removal.

I read 2sites each day; Erin Reed's blog for trans news, and Heather Cox Richardson's summaries of the previous day. I HAVE to avoid doom.

I am, mostly! I still have moments where it doesn't sound like me (eating, when tired, etc.) and I will *never ever ever* be happy with my voice being played back to me, but I am happy, I can't remember the last time I was misgendered (more than a year at least) and practice makes perfect.

I hear you on the "fun sometimes", cuz during D&D or whatever it's fun to break out that deep voice. Playing a character that uses lots of illusions or disguises? Hell yes!

Thankies! <3

My old voice was just artificially low to overcompensate, my wife even noted I dropped it when I talked to my family. When I transitioned and softened my voice, that helped a lot. Speech therapy got my pitch up further without strain (which is why I got a professional; too many people on Youtube are giving unsafe advice) and resonance forward (i.e. head voice). I still struggle with it some days or in some situations (eating, when tired, etc.) but I am much happier.

I did ~4 months of voice training (3 hours with a speech therapist every other week) and went from a deep 85-90 Hz tone (like a E2 note) and have settled into a nice 230-240 range (about a B3 note). I didn't want to aim too high because I need room to go upwards in pitch, I can push myself up to a very squeaky 330 Hz (E4) note. Here's my voice app, doing my old voice first, rising up to my speaking voice and then turning up the squeak at the end.

They grab anyone who looks Hispanic regardless of immigration status. Soon they'll start grabbing all women on suspicion of being trans. Yay

Right there with you, sister. 43, started at 40. Won't abandon all the wonderful friends I've made as a result of finally being myself.

#44 I'm American & trans, I'll roll the dice on getting hunted in the Fae realm over definitely getting hunted for sport in this one.
