She always looks kind of dead and angry. You'd think changing her body to what she wants it to be like would make her happy, but she juts looks agitated and cheesed off. I keep hearing from detransitioners that nothing they did made them really happy. They would tell themselves that they were happy, and try to feel happy, but they were always chasing some ideal that never materialized.

Aaaaand still you can detect slight hint of female voice behind this synthesizer. Assuming soft cheeks and body language wasn't a dead giveaway in the first place.

The kicker is that this voice change is irreversible and should she ever decide she wants to present as a woman again she's gonna find that out the hard way.

It really blows my mind that this is even a thing. Back when I was growing up, kids would mess around with hair and clothing, but we'd never dream of going on hormones or having surgery. You just muddled through high school, eventually figured out who you were, and life went on. I know I sound like an old fart, but holy cow...

I remember reading some Leslie Feinberg about 17 years ago, and I think we have her to thank for a lot of this. Only, funny thing, as far as I know she never got bottom surgery. Seems like this really began to take off around 2008-2010 or so.

If she does detransition, then this irreversible change (along with any others she underwent) will naturally be the fault of the doctors and her family and everyone else who didn't step up to stop her from doing this terrible thing to herself.

False. Voice feminization surgery is a thing.

It's a thing but it's not a guarantee. Results are mixed and generally not permanent, not to mention the complications and risks.

Which makes it the same as all the other nonsense the trans-identifying people do to themselves.

...and yet she still does not remotely resemble an actual man.

Yeah it's funny. The one I know wants to be a man but doesn't seem to like male stuff very much.

A teenage girl records a clip of herself speaking once a week for 52 weeks whilst taking testosterone.

Fun fact. That hair hasn't been washed even once during those 52 weeks.

I really hope it's a wig, not that that makes it any better.
