One of the primary effects of testosterone is the lowering of the voice. I’m dying to get on testosterone not only because I want to be on it, but also because I want to be able to get my voice back into shape again. I really want to know how deep my voice will go. I’m hoping for a very nice, smooth tenor sound. I doubt it’d get deep enough to be bass or baritone, but then again you never know. My father had an incredibly deep voice, so I guess it’s just a crapshoot.

Right now, I feel like I’m the last member of New Edition. I hate constantly having to correct people who call me Ma’am over the phone (this is the one area where I simply cannot pass for male just yet). I usually just ignore them and try to get off the phone as fast as possible without having to bring up the issue. As much as this is an annoyance, I really care more about being able to sing again. I want to know what my voice is capable of and I want to start making music again.

I have been told by some that it is hard to regain your vocal ability after transition, but I don’t believe that is true for someone who has been trained for as long as I have. This is going to be just like when a guy’s voice lowers during puberty (for all intents and purposes, the initial transition process on T is incredibly similar to male puberty). This doesn’t mean men can’t sing because their voices have changed. This just means they have to adapt to singing with a lower vocal range. Either way, I’m really looking forward to getting back into singing.

Last Thursday, the progeny of the rich and famous on Rock the Cradle had to sing a song that defined themselves. Chloe Lattanzi just happened to pick the song “Freak on a Leash”. We already know she’s a freak who likes to fill her lips with so much collagen I fear they will explode. She also had that anorexia thing going on and I seem to feel like she lost weight everywhere, but in her lips. Either way, she didn’t have to tell us something we already knew and ruin a perfectly good Korn song in the process.

You can check out her off key, screechy, overly bad performance here.

Some of her tone deaf fans say that Chloe’s singing style is “Goth Porn”. I tend to feel it’s more torture porn. It doesn’t matter what she sings, she tries to get votes by humping the stage. It’s just downright disturbing! I wouldn’t want to see her mom humping anything and at least her mom is kind of cute. Chloe didn’t get her looks or talent that’s for sure!
