Há cirurgia para fazer a voz mais feminina? [Tradução PT]

Fonte (Inglês):

Oi, então, eu estava lendo os recursos e eu não acho que tinha nenhum menção disso lá, e o Google não está realmente me ajudando, então eu estava me perguntando se há alguma cirurgia para fazer minha voz ser mais feminina? Isso existe?

Ryn diz:

Sim e não. Há cirurgia para fazer sua voz ser mais fina, mas não há nenhum tipo de voz que seja feminina ou masculina. Se uma pessoa que se identifica como mulher tem uma voz, a voz deles é uma voz feminina.

Mas, sim, existe cirurgia para fazer sua voz ser mais fina. Geralmente ouvi falar de chamando de tireoplastia, mas parece que é relacionada a outras cirurgias vocais como laringoplastia feminizadora, enquanto a tireoplastia adicional a essa outra apenas tira parte do pomo de Adão para que ele não pareça tão masculino. Isso geralmente é relacionado a cirurgias vocais por causa da área comum. Normalmente, as cordas vocais serão cirurgicamente diminuidas ou feitas serem mais finas. Isso, é claro, tem seus riscos como qualquer outra cirurgia, incluindo a possibilidade de totalmente perder sua voz.

A outra maneira de afinar sua voz sem cirurgia é treinamento de voz. Há vários aplicativos de treinamento vocais nos nossos recursos [da Transgender Teen Survival Guide].

I saw an article saying Countdown was doing poorly on RT (50% with 8 critics reviews as of right now):

https://collider.com/jensen-ackles-countdown-rotten-tomatoes-score-is-it-good/

so I went to check and I had to chuckle reading through some of these reviews:

https://www.slantmagazine.com/tv/countdown-review-eric-dane/

https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/countdown-review-the-years-most-insufferable-tv-show-is-now-here/

https://www.thewrap.com/countdown-review-prime-video-jensen-ackles/

Many funny lines throughout these reviews, some of my personal faves:

During many times watching “Countdown,” I reminded myself that I liked TV. “It’s a good medium with lots of good shows,” I kept saying to the heavens. “It’s not all like this.” “Countdown” doesn’t have a lot of power. But it did have the power to give this TV critic — this TV watcher, this TV fan — an existential crisis, a feeling of overwhelming doom. I guess that’s something!

This one just made me chuckle, ngl lol

The show is very bad, to be clear. It’s bad at being suspenseful, it’s bad at providing emotional investment and it’s bad at being memorable. It feels cynical and uninterested in itself. It provides the bare minimum of every element, digs no further, then loudly insists it’s providing a service.

Sounds entertaining...

Characters get maybe one trait to play, and most of them are “things that happen to them,” rather than any sort of interiority or guiding philosophy. One character gets a family, one character gets an addiction, one character gets a health issue. These are big things that happen to us human beings; they are treated with a single sledgehammer bonk on the head before moving on. “Is this good enough?” the show screams at us. “Is the box checked, do you like these characters now?”

So each character gets a token characteristic and then that's the extent of their personalities? Sounds about right

The feeling that Countdown, created and written by Derek Haas, is a series out of time in 2025 is never more apparent than in its obsequiously uncritical depiction of police work. Nice-guy Finau, for one, humblebrags about how many times he’s been suspended while the rest of his team engage in just about every form of police malpractice imaginable, from planting drugs to turning off their recording devices so they can break out enhanced interrogation techniques. These actions are always presented unambiguously: that these cops are good guys doing whatever needs to be done to get justice. Combined with the show’s reverence for the armed forces and its willingness to invoke 9/11 at the drop of a hat—Blythe stoically reveals that he left a promising law career behind to sign up and serve his country the day after the Twin Towers fell—Countdown feels like a series from an older, more conservative era of television.

So the people who screamed that Walker was copaganda are getting what is actually a full blown copaganda show and they will probably scream about how progressive Jensen is for showing the police as the good guys!! 🙄🤡

Clunky, simplistic, unbelievable, and inert, it’s a show that manages the impressive feat of being generic in absolutely every respect.

From reading the reviews, it also sounds like the longer series order was a detriment to the show and made them focus too much and too long on unimportant details to fill space.

It's 31% on Rotten Tomatoes now. Additional critiques:

Roger & Ebert: "Cure You Insomnia with Prime Video's Countdown"

Decider: "An example of the show’s predictability is Meachum’s brain tumor. As soon as he pauses and winces right before bashing into a suspect’s apartment, we know that he’s got a tumor. A scene where he’s at the doctor, looking at a grave-looking MRI and the medico begging him to relax with “the time you have left,” felt like a “tell don’t show” moment that could have been cut right out (unlike the tumor — thank you, I’m here all week!)."

Hollywood Reporter: "At no point in the episodes I’ve seen do any of the characters seem to experience urgency themselves. They’re just puttering around Los Angeles like heavily armed Uber drivers, or like they’re playing a game of Where in L.A. Is Carmen Sandiego. ....... In line with the series’ lackadaisical approach, every piece of information has to be repeated multiple times for the benefit of distracted viewers"

Variety: "Unfortunately, though the show has all of the fundamentals needed for an engaging action series, “Countdown” grows duller by the episode. .... In the end, despite its large cast and grandiose themes, “Countdown” ultimately falters due to its monotonous nature. Series centering on task forces are a dime a dozen across network and streaming platforms, and typically work best when they move at either a breakneck pace or are episodic. Additionally, each person on Team Hurricane from Meachum onward is someone viewers have already seen before. Without compelling storylines or characters, the show fails to make a significant impression.

Leisure Byte: "I often found myself zoning out and had to force myself to pay attention as one thing led to another. The series keeps uncovering clue after clue, and after a while, you want it to come to an end. I get it, this is a huge crime ring with many complications, but just… let’s bring it all to a close, you know?"

JOJO NEWS RECAP: 2023-2024 Hi guys! I've realised with the recent English translation announcement that news regarding Steel Ball Run just.. doesn't really reach Tumblr as much as it should.

I saw your recent ask talking about a fear of needles, did you know there's auto injectors that hide the needle entirely? Both for IM and SubQ. They're a little expensive, but worth it IMO. Made injecting mine significantly easier. ( it's called a needle guide assistant, by union medico)

There's also transbucket for bottom surgery results (both meta and phallo), and If I recall correctly, they also have surgeon recommendations alongside them

I wish resources like these were more talked about in our circles. I also wish I knew more resources like these, but unfortunately I only know these through word of mouth.

i did NOT know about the autoinjectors! thats such an excellent resource - heres a link to their website for those interested!

as for transbucket - which you can find here - its such a wonderful resource! ive actually been using it as a guide for what sort of surgeries id like, and to give me a rough idea of what the results will look like on me.

my partner is actually interested in archival work, and tends to seek out these resources in depth… sometime soon, ill have to ask it for help compiling a good resource list for those of us in the transmasculine community. one of my goals with this blog is to help people network, and find connections, whether that be for post-op photos, dysphoria resources, medical equipment, whatever!

[tsugu-chan]

A small Valentine's proposal oneshot cause why not?

"at what point are you gonna ask her?!" Tsugumi asked Minato who was sweating a little bit in his suit. "I don't fucking know!" They were currently in a small enclosed area of a fancy restaurant Minato had invited Destiny to. After him and her dating for 5 years it was about time Minato had proposed and he was finally going to do it today. "I don't know how to do it, that's the thing! Do I slip it into her wine-" "If you slip it into her drink then she'll swallow it, choke on it, and then die before she even sees it." Tsugumi cut him off. "Y'know what? After dinner take her to the park that's 5 minutes away from here. I'll set up the scene with a blanket, some wine or champagne, and maybe an occasional candle or two on a hill." This gave Minato some hope. "Okay get both but do add some non alcoholic drinks."

Tsugumi nodded at his request and left through the out of sight door of the area. Minato then walked back over to his table but was suddenly stopped in his tracks. Destiny was wearing a stunning dark red dress with gorgeous gold jewelry. She looked just perfect but then again when isn't she? Minato settled in his seat just before Destiny found him. "Babe!" She happily squealed when she sat down. She was just as energetic as ever. "Hey." Was that too nonchalant? Was it too causal? What if he said hi or hello? Suddenly he was rethinking all of his life decisions. "So how's the business been going?" She asked as she pulled a menu closer to her. "It's been pretty good. So far we've won quite a few cases which is kind of surprising." He admitted. "How's it surprising? You've always been good at convincing people things." Destiny rested her chin in her hand. "Hello! Welcome to our restaurant! What would you like?" A waiter interrupted. "For an appetizer I'd just like some miso soup please." The waiter, after showing some faint expression of annoyance, turned to Minato. "And you?" "I'd like some Yakitori please." The waiter didn't seem annoyed at all when he responded. "Coming right up!" The waiter then went back to the kitchen.

"So how's your job going?" Minato asked Destiny while staring at her lips. The shade of red she was wearing complimented her well. "Oh it's really fun! Recently we've made a technological advancement with Medicoal!" She said enthusiastically. Medicoal was supposed to be some sort of advanced robot that would help people with all sorts of disabilities with everyday things. If he was honest, he didn't really care about the robot but about the way her eyes lit up while talking about it. They were once again interrupted when their appetizers came. "Do you have any decisions for your main course yet?" The waiter asked. "I think we'll get the sushi combo, right?" He turned to Destiny who nodded. The waiter went to another table. "Y'know, this was really nice of you Minato." Destiny said softly smiling at him. This made his heart skip a couple of beats. "Oh it was really my pleasure." He bashfully smiled. Although the waiter was pretty rude to them, more specifically Destiny, the night went pretty smoothly.

"Alright now I'm going to guide you somewhere okay?" Minato told Des when they left the restaurant. "Where?" "Somewhere you'll love." He took her by her hand and led her until they were 1 minute away. "Now I'm going to close your eyes and guide you alright?" "Uhm... Okay?" Destiny smiled amused as Minato guided her to the park. He could see the light shining brightly from the hill closest to the lake. "Watch your step." Minato said gently as they ascended up the green hill. When he took his hands off of her eyes she gasped. She admired the romantic scene right at her feet, then the lake water in front of her that beautifully reflected the stars, and finally the sky. It reminded her of their highschool days when they would sneak on top of her family's apartment building for whatever reason. Her eyes teared up when she saw Minato who was now on one knee looking like a tomato. "God this was more embarrassing than I thought it would be." He laughed a little bit and Destiny giggled along. "Will you marry me?" He said when he recollected himself. Destiny didn't even respond before she threw herself at him giving him a hug tighter than his aunt's. She muttered yes over and over again while tearing up. Maybe high school love stories do have happy endings.

Bonus:

"Yes! I'll be able to play a major role at their wedding!" Tsugumi cheered to herself behind a tree as she watched the scene. She took a few photos before she left to put in an album she'd probably gift them. Mission accomplished.

CW: Needles

Ever have trouble injecting your HRT or other medication? Needlephobia? Anxiety? Or just tired?

Here is a couple of options for you.

The site is Union Medico. They provide auto injectors/ needle guides to assist in injection Intramuscularly and Subcutaneously.

90 Degree Super Grip

The 90 Degree Super Grip helps with Intramuscular injections. Typically placed in the thigh, buttocks, or arm, Intramuscular injections go directly into the muscle to be quickly absorbed into the bloodstream.

45 Degree Auto Injector

The 45 Degree Auto Injector helps with Subcutaneous Injections. This type of injection is placed into fatty tissue rather than muscle. Typically injected the abdomen, but can also be into the thigh. This type is to slowly absorb the medicine over time rather than quickly.

!!Talk with your doctor on which type of injection is best for you!!

When ordering your injector, make sure you have the correct syringe size. I typically use a BD 3ML . The needle size does not matter as you won't be using the needles provided as a safety precaution. If unsure about the syringe size, ask your pharmacist for that information.

Be Safe and Be Knowledgeable!

Understanding Colon Cancer Treatment: Timely Action, Trusted Expertise

Colon cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, is one of the most common types of gastrointestinal cancers worldwide. When diagnosed early, it is highly treatable and often curable. However, the key to a successful outcome lies in timely diagnosis and choosing the right treatment strategy.

Dr. Sachin Arora, a renowned Surgical Gastroenterologist and Gastrointestinal Cancer Surgeon based in Dehradun, offers expert and advanced care for patients with colon cancer. Here’s an in-depth look at available treatment options and what you can expect.

Treatment Options for Colon Cancer

The treatment for colon cancer is personalized based on the stage of the disease, location of the tumor, overall health of the patient, and other medical factors. Broadly, it includes surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and ongoing surveillance.

Surgical Options

Surgery is often the first and most important step in treating colon cancer. It involves removing the cancerous part of the colon and surrounding tissues.

Laparoscopic Colon Resection

Minimally invasive surgery where the affected part of the colon is removed using small incisions and a camera-guided procedure. It ensures faster recovery and less postoperative pain.

Segmental Colectomy

This procedure involves removing a segment of the colon that contains the tumor. It’s a standard surgical option for localized cancers.

Colostomy (in Select Cases)

In some advanced cases or emergencies, a colostomy may be performed. It involves diverting the bowel to an opening in the abdomen to allow waste to exit the body.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is often recommended after surgery to kill remaining cancer cells and reduce the risk of recurrence. In some cases, it may be given before surgery to shrink the tumor (neoadjuvant chemotherapy).

Targeted Therapy & Immunotherapy

For advanced or metastatic colon cancer, these modern treatment methods offer new hope.

Targeted Therapy uses drugs that specifically target cancer cell growth and survival.

Immunotherapy boosts the body’s immune system to fight cancer more effectively, especially in patients with specific genetic profiles or advanced-stage disease.

Follow-up & Surveillance

Even after successful treatment, regular monitoring is essential to ensure the cancer does not return.

Routine colonoscopy Periodic imaging tests Blood tests for tumor markers

These follow-up practices help detect any recurrence early and allow prompt intervention.

Take Charge of Your Health

Colon cancer can be life-threatening if ignored but is highly treatable when caught early. If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms like blood in the stool, unexplained weight loss, or changes in bowel habits — don’t wait.

The Enduring Allure of Masquerade Masks: A Guide to Mystery and Style

Discover the rich history, iconic types, and modern popularity of masquerade masks. Learn how to choose the perfect mask for your next elegant event.

There's an undeniable magic to a masquerade ball. The combination of elegant attire, enchanting music, and the collective anonymity of masked faces creates an atmosphere of mystery and excitement. At the heart of this tradition are the masks themselves—intricate works of art that conceal one identity while revealing another. They invite curiosity, spark conversation, and transport participants to a world where anything feels possible. Whether for a grand ball, a themed party, or a festive celebration, understanding the allure of these accessories is the first step to embracing the masquerade experience.

The Rich History Behind the Mask

The tradition of masquerade masks is most famously associated with the Carnival of Venice. Beginning centuries ago, the Carnival was a period of celebration and revelry before the austerity of Lent. As noted by historical sources like Britannica, masks allowed Venetians to blur the rigid social lines of the era, enabling nobles and commoners to mingle freely without fear of judgment. This anonymity was powerful, providing a unique social freedom that became a hallmark of Venetian culture. The masks were not just for parties; they were worn for various occasions, becoming an integral part of daily life for a time, symbolizing a world of intrigue and hidden truths.

Iconic Styles of Masquerade Masks

Over the centuries, specific mask styles emerged, each with its own history and personality. These traditional designs continue to be popular today and offer a wide range of expressive possibilities for any event.

The Bauta

The Bauta is a classic full-face mask, often stark white, characterized by a prominent chin line that juts outward. This clever design allowed the wearer to eat, drink, and speak with ease while remaining completely anonymous. It was a practical and popular choice for both men and women seeking total concealment.

The Columbina

The Columbina is a half-mask that covers only the wearer's eyes, nose, and upper cheeks. It is often highly decorated with feathers, gems, and intricate patterns. This style gained popularity because it offered a degree of disguise without hiding the entire face, allowing for more personal expression and making it a favorite for formal balls.

Medico della Peste (The Plague Doctor)

Perhaps the most striking and recognizable of all Venetian masks is the Medico della Peste. With its long, hollow beak and round eyeholes, this mask has a haunting history. It was originally worn by doctors during the plague, who filled the beak with aromatic herbs, believing it would protect them from airborne disease. Today, its dramatic appearance makes it a bold and unforgettable choice for a masquerade costume.

Choosing the Perfect Mask for the Occasion

Selecting the right mask is a crucial part of creating your masquerade persona. Your choice should complement your outfit, feel comfortable for the duration of the event, and match the overall theme. Consider whether you prefer the full concealment of a Volto or Bauta, or the flirtatious mystery of a Columbina. The materials can range from simple papier-mâché to luxurious fabrics and metals. Finding the perfect one is part of the fun. From simple, elegant designs to elaborate, handcrafted pieces, the options are endless. High-quality, authentic masquerade masks can be a significant part of your costume budget, but they elevate the entire experience and become a cherished keepsake long after the party ends.

Masquerade Masks in the Modern World

While their Venetian origins are historic, masquerade balls are more popular than ever. They are a timeless theme for New Year's Eve galas, charity fundraisers, proms, and even weddings. The modern masquerade continues to celebrate the elegance and intrigue of its historical counterpart, offering a unique escape from the everyday. Event planners and hosts often draw inspiration from classic costume design principles, as detailed by institutions like the Victoria and Albert Museum, to create truly immersive experiences. The mask remains a powerful symbol of transformation, allowing guests to step into a different role for a night of unforgettable fun and fantasy.

Indian Companies & Importers Suing Chinese Manufacturers and Suppliers in Indian Courts (2025 Guide)-2 | Common Dispute Trends of Indian Importers with Chinese Suppliers | FAQs | Recent Developments in IP Protection | Recent Cases & Ongoing Legal Challenges

Five Most Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the legal process typically take? Although the fact that Commercial Courts are legally mandated to dispose of the suits within 12 months under the Commercial Courts Act, 2015, in practice, the usual time taken for disposal is 18-24 months. However, the interim relief can be secured within 1-2 weeks in urgent cases.

Can I recover legal costs from the Chinese supplier? Yes. Recently, the Hon’ble Delhi High Court in Apex Pharma vs. Wuhan Medico CS(OS) 542/2024 awarded the Indian plaintiff a sum of Rs. 12 Lacs as legal costs.

What if the supplier has no assets in India? In this scenario, either of the two approaches can be used – a. Filing an FIR u/420 of the Indian Penal Code for Cheating, which can eventually lead to Interpol notices. b. Filing parallel civil proceedings in Singapore or Hong Kong, where enforcement against Chinese assets is more feasible.

Is arbitration better than court litigation? If the supplier has Indian connections, then Indian Court Litigation is an advisable option. However, in cases where time is of the essence, SIAC (Singapore) arbitration is advantageous, especially when the dispute amount exceeds Rs. 10 Crores. In Amazon.com NV Investment Holdings LLC vs. Future Retail Ltd. (2021) SCC OnLine SC 557, the Hon’ble Supreme Court upheld the enforceability of emergency arbitrator awards under Section 17(2) of the Arbitration Act.

Can I sue a Chinese company with no registered office in India? Yes. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in India Cement Ltd. vs. Huaxin Trading Co. (Civil Appeal No. 3421/2024) laid down that foreign companies without Indian offices can be sued through their Indian agents or by serving notices at their foreign addresses through diplomatic channels
