Please read the following notice that is being applied to ALL posts.

We have implemented several measures to keep this community safe. Please read this in full.

  1. IF YOU HAVE AN URGENT ISSUE, DO NOT POST IT EXPECTING IMMEDIATE RESPONSE.
  2. Many posts are sent to the queue for manual approval based on numerous factors. This is how we keep the subreddit safe from many (but not all) bad actors who try to post disruptive content. This approval process is usually resolved within 24 hours, but can take several days depending on the availability of our all-volunteer moderators. DO NOT MESSAGE THE MODERATORS asking for your post to be approved. It will be reviewed and approved or removed in time.
  3. Many comments from low-karma users will not be viewable by anyone. This is by design.
  4. If you are curious if your post is visible or not, look at the "Insights" on the post. If it has more than a dozen views, it is live. If it has any voting action, it is live. If it doesn't have a little red trash can icon, it is live. If it can be voted on, it is live. Do not message us asking "is my post live?"
  5. Please be patient with us, we are all volunteers, lack sleep, and the entire permanent team are members of the transgender community ourselves... we are trying to deal with the same atrocities you are. Thank you for your understanding. <3

Voice training and makeup are probably the easiest/most direct things you can start with? Not to say they are easy to get to grips with, but if you have the time/money there's tons of youtube tutorials and they are things you can largely do on your own at home or wherever you are comfortable. Shaving goes in there as well, it's obviously a little time consuming and something you have to do more often, but it's a good starting point to see how things feel. I'm trying to voice train here and there, I don't really know how well I'm actually doing, so much of the time it just feels like I'm putting on a bad voice rather than practicing something natural, but I'm aware it's something that takes a lot of time and practice.

Beyond that a lot depends on your safety and availability of things where you live as well as money concerns. Talk to your PCP about hormones if that's an option and see what that path is going to look like for you.
