Relationship between vocal fatigue and feminized vocal self-perception in trans women in Argentinian Transgender women in 2021
Transgender women are those ones whose gender expression, felt identity or behavior is that of a woman, not matching their male sex assigned at birth. As a consequence of producing a gender-appropriate voice, they may be prone to voice disorders associated to inefficient muscle tension patterns, whi...

| description |
Transgender women are those ones whose gender expression, felt identity or behavior is that of a woman, not matching their male sex assigned at birth. As a consequence of producing a gender-appropriate voice, they may be prone to voice disorders associated to inefficient muscle tension patterns, which may lead to symptoms, such as vocal fatigue. Purpose: identify the relationship between vocal fatigue (VF) and feminized vocal self-perception in transgender women in Argentina, between 18–55-year-old, in 2021.
A cross-sectional correlational study approved by CIEIS HNC was carried out. The data was obtained anonymously through a Google form. The Vocal Fatigue Index (VFI) was used, with its three dimensions, i.e., fatigue and vocal restriction, physical discomfort associated with the voice and recovery with vocal rest, and the section on global self-perception of the current voice from the Transsexual Voice Questionnaire (TVQ), both validated in Spanish. In addition, an ad hoc questionnaire for socio-hygienic characteristics and exclusion and inclusion criteria was also used. The sample consisted of 42 trans women, between 18 and 55 years old, who lived fully as women for at least 6 months before the study, excluding those who had received surgery to raise the fundamental frequency, those who had undergone or previously received phoniatric rehabilitation and those who had vocal, hormone, respiratory or auditory pathologies.
47.6% of the women self-perceived their voice within the neutral category, and to a lesser extent, feminine and masculine. According to the Spearman test, the older the age, the more feminine the subject self-perceived her voice, with no relationship between age and vocal fatigue. 76.19% experienced vocal fatigue in at least one of the three dimensions of the VFI. A moderately significant statistical relationship was found between participants' feminized voice self-perception and vocal fatigue in the first two dimensions of the Vocal Fatigue Index, but not in the last one.
The hypothesis was partially confirmed, as a statistical relationship was found between most of the dimensions of the VFI and the self-perception of feminization of the voice. |

Samaha, CY Torres Bratina , MJ Ramonda, J Pereira, VI SELF CONCEPT TRANSGENDER PERSONS VOICE AUTOPERCPCION PERSONAS TRANSGENERO VOZ FATIGA .

Las mujeres trans son aquellas cuya expresión, identidad o conducta de género es la de mujer, no ajustandose con el sexo masculino asignado al nacer. Como resultado de producir una voz de características acordes a su género pueden ser susceptibles a trastornos de la voz relacionados con patrones de tensión muscular ineficaces, lo que puede ocasionar síntomas como la fatiga vocal. Objetivo: identificar cuál es la relación entre la fatiga vocal (FV) y la autopercepción de voz feminizada en mujeres trans de entre 18 y 55 años de la Argentina en 2021. Se realizó un estudio correlacional transversal aprobado por CIEIS HNC. Los datos fueron obtenidos anónimamente mediante un formulario Google. Se utilizó el Índice de Fatiga Vocal (IFV), con sus tres dimensiones fatiga y restricción vocal, malestar físico asociado con la voz y recuperación con reposo vocal y el apartado de autopercepción global de la voz actual del Transexual Voice Questionnaire (TVQ), ambos validados al español. Además un cuestionario ad hoc para las características sociosanitarias y criterios de exclusión e inclusión. La muestra se conformó por 42 mujeres trans de 18 a 55 años que vivieron plenamente como mujer durante al menos 6 meses previos quedando excluidas quienes hubieran recibido cirugía para elevar la frecuencia fundamental, que hubieran estado o recibido previamente rehabilitación foniátrica o que presentasen patología vocal, hormonal, respiratoria o auditiva. El 47,6% de las mujeres autopercibieron su voz dentro de la categoría neutra y en menor medida femenina y masculina. Según la prueba de Spearman a mayor edad más femenina autopercibieron su voz, sin relación entre la edad y la fatiga vocal. El 76.19% presentó fatiga vocal en al menos una de las tres dimensiones del IFV. Se encontró una relación estadística moderadamente significativa entre la autopercepción de voz feminizada de las participantes y la fatiga vocal en las primeras dos dimensiones del Índice de Fatiga Vocal, pero no así en la última. En conclusión se confirmó parcialmente la hipótesis al encontrarse relación estadística entre la mayoría de dimensiones del IFV y la autopercepción de feminización de la voz. .
