Hello, Im 19 going to Uni (UK) in september and thinking about going partially stealth ( theres already people that knew me pre-transition there so full stealth would be difficult but none of them are on the same course as me/ living on campus). Im 1 year on T and had top surgery, I have no idea if i pass to be honest, from strangers that dont know my age i usually am genderd correctly but I get alot of shocked looks once people know im 18+ (the amount of times ive had to get out my ID to prove it).

I know its hard to judge since you cant see what I look/sound like but how realistic is it to be stealth and is it worth it?

Anyone have any tips, Im living on campus (but have my own bathroom).

Finally my turn to post this!!! I feel like im kinda unprepared but im not sure what else to do so if anyone has any tips feel free to share. Also my surgeon didnt give me any instructions on how to shower before my surgery, am i allowed to use soap or shampoo or should i just be washing with water? And im assuming i should put deodorant or any moisturiser on before?

Im 10 months on T, the pitch of my voice is fairly deep but everything else sounds so girly. I dont know if its because i have a slight lisp + mumbly voice or the way i talk but i just feel so dysphoric about it. I also feel like after i long time of talking just with my normal voice it feels really strained and nasally and my nose gets blocked. (i dont know if thats related but i feel like it is)

Is their any methods that could help me. I dont understand how to 'talk from my chest', everything just kinda feels like it's from the back of my throat or the bottom of my neck even if my chest vibrates.

Im so happy with everything in my transition so far but i just am getting so down about this and i dont have option to see a voice therapist or anything for the foreseeable future.
