As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:

“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.

Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.

    Your voice is one of the first thing people identify about you, and it is your main way to express yourself, obviously it is important to you.

    But sadly the only way to change your voice is to try, in the way you feel like your voice now is a form of mutilation, maybe consider that voice training is a kind of rehabilitation. Training up after an injury is painful, but there is no alternative and not doing so only leads to pain down the road. Your “injury” here I suppose is more of your circumstances of birth, but the metaphor I think still holds. I must make it clear that I don’t want to dismiss your pain. Obviously it is painful for you. And trying your best only to fail at what others find easy hurts. I think everyone here is deeply aware of that. But I can offer you nothing but the fact that enduring has results.
