Annotation

Inclusion of sex-atypical voices in speech perception protocols can disclose variations in listener perception and is especially suitable in generating guidelines for transgender speech treatment. Ninety-three listeners, divided into four groups based on sex and sexual orientation, supplied auditory-perceptual measures of sex and gender display for 21 cisgender men, 21 cisgender women, and 22 transgender women. There was no notable evidence that those listener features were influential, except transgender women were perceived as notably more feminine by nonstraight compared with straight listeners.
