I was thinking about adding some tongue twisters in to my voice training routine, since they'll have different sets of sounds than what I normally use in conversation. Here's one for each day of the next week.
Monday
To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock,
In a pestilential prison, with a lifelong lock,
Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock,
From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block
Tuesday
Six sick hicks nick six slick bricks with picks and sticks
Wednesday
Fred fed Ted bread and Ted fed Fred bread
Thursday
A blanched black bug bleeds black blood but what color blood does a bland blue bug bleed?
Friday
The great Greek grape growers grow great Greek grapes
Saturday
If you must cross a coarse cross cow across a crowded cow crossing, cross the cross coarse cow across the crowded cow crossing carefully
Sunday
Luke's duck likes lakes. Luke Luck licks lakes. Luke's duck licks lakes. Duck takes licks in lakes Luke Luck likes
If you want something normal sounding to say instead, try the Harvard Sentences. Or read a book to someone!

I wish I could truly believe that passing didn’t matter
Passing matters to me but its more about how I feel about myself rather than fitting in to some platonic feminine ideal. Theres lots of misogynist trash the hegemonic feminine ideal Im happy to toss - I love dresses but I like wearing pants, I like work and I get a lot out of my work, I like girls (and boys lol), I like more alt vibes (dye my hair, pierce, etc). But I like passing and I get a lot of joy when people say the right pronouns or say Im a girl you know the deal.
I respect people who want to go stealth for safety or because theyd rather just never think about being trans. Im not stealth. Im totally open at work, at home, with friends and family, including when I worked in ppediatrics. I would never judge someone for not passing though - Id never say someone was being trans wrong or they should try and pass more or in a way I think they should.
Idk how anyone could think that
