What Gender-Affirming Voice work feels like from a scientist and client
What is it about?
Gender-Affirming Voice is different from other speech-language pathology work. We don't need to address a pathology, we choose to change our voice from the default. That means professionals in the field need to understand the unique social challenges we face - especially discrimination against transgender and gender-diverse people.
Why is it important?
We explain why speech-language pathologists (SLPs) need to change the way they work with gender-diverse people. Teaching techniques is relatively easy. Teaching us to find confidence in who we are and how we express ourselves is far more difficult, yet far more important.
