Abstract
Voice and communication are a critical contributor to gender presentation. Various options are available for gender affirming voice care depending on the needs of the patient, and include hormone replacement therapy, voice therapy, and voice surgery. Despite a traditionally poor reputation, more recent literature has shown voice surgery, particularly anterior glottoplasty, to be a low risk and effective treatment for pitch elevation that may be considered as an adjunct to voice therapy.
