VFS has changed my life. It’s the single best thing I have done for my transition and one of the best gifts I ever have given myself. It’s removed a major source of dysphoria and a barrier to my participation in society. I feel very confident now being out in public and meeting new people.
I have come to love my new voice. Everyone says it suits me very well and sounds very natural. I do not have to put in any effort or prior thought to using it, even when I am tired or it’s late in the day. I no longer have to be self-conscious of laughing or making involuntary vocalisations in front of others. It’s a real weight off my mind. I never get misgendered now, either on the phone or in public and honestly it’s been a game changer for me in being able to go through life as just another woman.
I am very grateful to all the team in Hamburg for being such a welcoming and lovely bunch of professionals throughout the whole process, and for taking such good care of me and my voice.
