A Review on Transwomen Voice Care: Cultural Considerations in South Asia

Abstract

Focusing on South Asia, this paper explores how speech-language pathologists (SLPs) can help transwomen achieve a voice that aligns with their gender identity. We will examine current methods for evaluating vocal qualities and the outcomes of voice therapy for this specific population. This review aims to equip SLPs with the latest assessment and therapy protocols for gender-affirming voice care. By improving SLPs’ understanding and skills in this area, we can ultimately enhance the quality of life for transwomen in South Asia.
