I don't really intend on getting vocal chord surgery unless it's an absolute last resort. I've been on E since 15/02/2022 and I have never felt better with my body and I pass most of the time. What I'm not satisfied with is my voice. It's somewhat deep and gravelley, especially when tired. I've recently got into speech therapy but every time I have sore vocal chords. Does it just take a while for them to loosen up/adjust? I'd appreciate if other people here, preferably trans women, posted but anyone is free to comment :)

Pleased to know this is normal! I was wondering if my vocal chords were strange, but this is reassuring. I've only had a couple of sessions for now so I feel content in knowing it'll only get better from here. I didn't know about the acidic foods thing so I'll note that down. Thank you :)

Of course! I'm happy if anything I said ends up helping!
