Abstract

Recent research indicates that our professions could improve in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) cultural competency. As indicated by Turner, Wilson, and Shirah's (2006) model of cultural competency, one can begin by increasing knowledge of transgender (TG) culture and improving sensitivity and attitudes foundational to serving these populations appropriately. This article sheds light on the factors influencing quality of life for many TG people, including voice. Readers are encouraged to include appropriate measures of voice-related quality of life in treatment outcomes and are provided with suggestions for developing LGBT cultural competency.
