Only if you're transmasculine/FTM taking masculinizing hormone therapy because a deepened voice is a permanent effect of testosterone.

It isn't guaranteed to happen though. I've noticed a few cases (anecdotal evidence I know, but in the absence of actual statistics...) where there is no real effect on tone of voice even after an extended period on T.

Rule one of HRT, your results may vary and all the jazz

Some trans guys get super deep, some don't, but so do a lot of cis men. Vocal masculinization training exists too but it's not as big since testosterone does help, to varying degrees.

Yeah, lets not misgender *anyone*. Also, unless Yaniv has committed acts of genocide, warmongering, and other crimes against humanity, or indicated a willingness or desire to do such, can we not invoke Godwin?

Why is it transmeds who instantly jump on the misgendering bandwagon whenever a bad apple pops up?

Jessica Yaniv is an aggressive trans person who went on a crusade against salon workers who weren't trained for or comfortable with penises. She also has a weird obsession with periods and acts very creepily towards young girls.

Regardless, simply because she's a bad apple, doesn't give justification for opening Pandora's Box and allowing misgendering.

I was asked to name a bad cis person. That's what I did. I'm not saying Hitler is on the level of Yaniv; Hitler's obviously much worse.

It's not misgendering, it's dehumanising.

Even without getting into how some NB people use it/its pronouns, I'd argue that it's important to remember that horrible people are human just like you or me.

"it/its" inherently dehumanize, which I personally refuse to do (even if someone else is dehumanizing themselves)

recognizing shitty people as people is vital to not become shitty yourself; disrespecting shitty people, however, is fair game IMHO

This is the trans discussion thread so let's be careful not to suggest that some trans users' opinions on evidently contentious issues are not "allowed". The wisdom of strawish and faintly slurish "you people" generalisations about the opinions of entire sections of the community are also questionable. We are a broad church of opinion.
Are these "human rights" in the room with us right now?
