Main Article Content

Abstract

The increase in the visibility of transgender people, and
the increase speech therapists who specialize in speech
therapy, make the demand for our vocal reeducation
services by transgender people begin to be habitual.
Due to the double look effect, they feel more vulnerable
and the feeling of being far away from the felt gender
is accentuated. Even though they may already have
achieved a physical image appropriate to it, they can feel
that acquired physical image does not serve them if they
use the voice.
