- 01J99F7969GK9W9N4D35YJW5GK abstract "Introduction/background Traditionally, transmasculine individuals have received little attention in the field of voice and transgender research. According to the traditional view, transmasculine individuals seeking a more masculine-sounding voice primarily achieve voice gender congruence through gender affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) with testosterone, specifically testosterone therapy (TT). However, recent studies have revealed that transmasculine individuals may experience voice-related issues, leading them to seek voice and communication training. Despite these challenges, few transmasculine individuals consult voice and communication specialists for assistance, and research in this area remains limited. A deeper understanding of these voice and communication difficulties is essential to develop evidence-based voice and communication training programs. This qualitative study aimed to explore the voice and communication difficulties encountered by transmasculine individuals during their transition, as well as the factors that influence their voice and communication. Specific Aim The purpose of this study was to investigate voice and communication in transmasculine individuals to develop evidence-based voice and communication training programs. Materials and methods Eight transmasculine individuals, who had received TT for at least one year, were included in this study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted by two experienced voice clinicians. The software program NVivo was used for transcribing and coding the interviews. Data were processed using a thematic analysis, and the trustworthiness of the data was enhanced through investigator triangulation. Results The thematic analysis resulted in the identification of the following five major themes: (1) voice and communication and voice changes during TT, (2) feedback on voice change, (3) misgendering based on voice, (4) psychosocial impact of voice, and (5) seeking help. Most transmasculine individuals experienced a voice pitch decrease during the first year of TT and encountered voice-related problems, with a higher incidence during the initial period. Additionally, some participants experienced increased satisfaction with how others attributed their gender after one year of TT. However, others still experienced a discrepancy between external gender attribution, self-attribution, and their desired attribution by others. Many participants did not receive voice and communication training. For those who did, it was often due to subjective voice problems, and they generally viewed it positively, noting a favorable impact on their voice. In some cases, their voice had a significant impact on their well-being and daily life. Conclusion Contrary to the traditional view that TT was the sole factor influencing voice and communication in transmasculine individuals, other factors also play a significant role. Identifying these factors broadly is crucial for future research and clinical practice, as they can contribute to our current knowledge and evidence-based practice for voice and communication training in transmasculine individuals. Transmasculine individuals should be acknowledged as a heterogeneous population in terms of their subjective gender positioning, desired gender attribution, gender attribution received from others, and gender-related aspects of their vocal situation. Some clients may express dissatisfaction with specific aspects of their voice and communication and may require professional support. Therefore, clinical practice for transmasculine individuals".
