Abstract:
ABSTRACT Purpose: to describe the transgender people’s self-perception of voice. Methods: a total of 60 people participated in this cross-sectional study. They attended a reference outpatient center for the health of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgender people. The data collection consisted of self-administered questionnaires, a participant’s profile questionnaire, and a voice self-assessment questionnaire. Results: most of the interviewees were young people who had never visited a speech-language-hearing therapist with the Public Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde); in general, they expressed interest in having such attention. The answers revealed an impact in the axes assessed, namely: “use of the voice in social life”, “mischaracterization of gender, due to the voice”, and “indication of dysphonia". Voice symptom characteristic of dysphonia was also identified in some people. Conclusion: transgender people are unsatisfied with their voices, which is an element that hinders the perception of the identified gender. It also has repercussions in their social, emotional, labor, and interpersonal lives. Hence, it is important to include speech-language-hearing therapy in the transgendering process, which is desired by most of the transgender people.
