Does estrogen make your voice more feminine?
No. Estrogen has no effect on the voicebox, but testosterone causes it to enlarge and produce a deeper pitch and body. Trans women can learn to produce a more feminine sound, using a voice called “head voice,” as well as adjustments to inflection and pitch.
Can you surgically lower your voice?
