“…The F 0 is widely understood to be the main parameter to differentiate male and female voices (2,18) . However, it is also known that it is not the only vocal feature that allows people to differentiate the voice gender, with other communication aspects being considered essential.…”

“…Studies with transgender women highlight the important role that resonance balance and the improvement of communicative competence have to increase the F 0 (19) . Features such as intonation, voice modulation, resonance, grammar and vocabulary are also important to differentiate male and female voices (18) . The CG presented more certain answers regarding voice gender identification, which highlights that voice gender identification for other laryngeal diagnoses were different than for Reinke's edema diagnosis.…”

RESUMO Objetivo Investigar a percepção auditiva de juízes leigos quanto ao gênero de mulheres com edema de Reinke, relacionada com o grau do edema e a frequência fundamental da voz. Método Estudo observacional, analítico e transversal. Participaram 46 juízes leigos que analisaram 48 vozes disfônicas - 24 vozes de mulheres com Edema de Reinke (Grupo Edema de Reinke - GER) e 24 vozes de mulheres e homens com outros tipos de disfonias (Grupo Controle - GC). Os juízes analisaram a contagem de números de 1 a 10 e julgaram as vozes como pertencentes a homem ou mulher, além de descreverem também se tinham certeza ou dúvida quanto à resposta. Os resultados do GER foram associados ao Grau do Edema (1, 2 ou 3) e à frequência fundamental média (F0), analisada por meio da vogal /Ɛ/. Resultados Observou-se que a porcentagem de erros em relação ao gênero foi maior no GER quando comparada à do GC, o percentual de certezas quanto ao gênero foi maior no GC. No GER, edemas de grau 1 ocasionaram menos erros quando comparados aos graus 2 e 3. A média da F0 das mulheres cujas vozes foram julgadas como masculinas (141 Hz) foi menor do que as identificadas corretamente (149 Hz). Conclusão Por meio da avaliação de juízes leigos, as vozes das mulheres com edema de Reinke são identificadas como vozes masculinas. O aumento do grau do edema e a redução da F0 estão relacionados à maior quantidade de erros e/ou dúvidas em relação à identificação do gênero de mulheres com edema de Reinke .

Masculine Voices Predict Well-Being in Female-to-Male Transgender Individuals

Voices convey important social information about an individual's identity, including gender. This is especially relevant to transgender individuals, who cite voice alteration as a primary goal of the gender alignment process. Although the voice is a primary target of testosterone therapy among female-to-male (FTM) trans people, little research has explored the effects of such changes on their psychological well-being. Here, we investigated how FTMs' vocal gender related to their well-being. A total of 77 FTMs (M = 25.45 years, SD = 6.77) provided voice samples and completed measures of their well-being and psychological health. An independent group of 32 naïve raters (M = 22.16 years, SD = 8.21) subsequently rated the voice samples for masculinity. We found that FTMs whose voices sounded more congruent with their experienced gender (i.e., sounded more masculine) reported greater well-being (better life satisfaction, quality of life, and self-esteem; lower levels of anxiety and depression) than FTMs with less gender congruent (i.e., more feminine) voices (β = .48). The convergence between outwardly perceived vocal gender and gender identity brought about through hormone replacement therapy may therefore support greater well-being for FTMs.
