Hi! This community exists as a place for trans people of all genders (or gender fluidity, or non-binary etc.) to help them overcome the challenges of being able to speak normally as their preferred gender. Upload audio clips, screenshots from analyzers, or what ever you feel like in order to get feedback and help perfected the voice you have into a state where you are comfortable.

Rules

These are going to be fairly open, since I trust that most posts here are seeking genuine help.

No shaming. This should be obvious. People are looking for help and advice here.
Absolutely no transphobic rhetoric will be tolerated. One warning (with a timeout), then a ban.
If you post an audio file, keep it SFW. We don’t need to hear that stuff.
Keep criticisms pertinent and overall kind. Part of this whole thing is practice. We shouldn’t expect immediate improvement.
This is a zero politics zone. If you bring them up, goodbye.
No slurs (I hate that I feel this is necessary)
If you have negative feedback, do so in a constructively respectful manner while remembering that this kind of thing is a journey and can’t be immediate.
This being the internet, help with voice mod stuff is encouraged. It can make a huge difference for someone with voice dysphoria if others hear them they way they wish to sound.
These rules are not necessarily exhaustive, and if you are generally a jerk or toll, expect a ban

Welcome! As I find them, I will be linking resources in this sidebar.

Blåhaj Lemmy

A general purpose lemmy instance for gender diverse folk and their allies.

Blåhaj Lemmy

Blåhaj Lemmy is brought to you by the kind folk at Blåhaj Zone, and while anyone is free to register for an account here, please bear in mind that this is a server that is very protective of our minority members and bigotry of any variety will be squashed with great prejudice.

We have several alternative lemmy frontends you can use. Just login with your regular blahaj login details.

We have a public matrix channel for all Blahaj users at #blahaj:chat.blahaj.zone

We also have a matrix channel for gender diverse folk and our allies! If you’re already a matrix user, you can head straight to our application room https://matrix.to/#/#gv-apply:chat.blahaj.zone, or by searching for #gv-apply:chat.blahaj.zone from within your matrix client.

If you’re new to matrix, you can find some more details and an instruction video on how to get up and running here https://chat.blahaj.zone/c/genderverse/

Community Guidelines

Blåhaj Lemmy is a space where everyone should feel able to participate safely, and to that end, our community is built on the guiding philosophies of empathy, inclusion and acceptance.

Empathy

We want our community members to be guided by compassion and empathy for others.

Examples of behaviour that are contrary to this philosophy are personal attacks, insults, doxing etc. If your comment is designed to hurt someone, this isn’t the space for it.

Inclusion and Acceptance

Embracing inclusion and acceptance means listening when people tell you who they are and what their needs are. It means not telling people that you know their experiences better than they do. It means not gatekeeping experiences of identities of others. It means no bigotry such as racism, sexism, anti LGBT commentary, ableism etc. It means doing your best to ensure that you don’t over-talk the voices of folk who don’t share your privileges.

Supporting Blåhaj Lemmy

After much hesitation, we have a Ko Fi to enable people to help with supporting some of the running costs associated with our instances.

Providing a safe space for our community is the goal, so please only consider donating if you are in a position to do so without any financial stress.
