I know the voice problem. I sing a soprano and on the one hand I have dysphoria concerning my speaking voice and on the other I'm a bit scared what it will do to my singing voice.
Do you sing regularly and how long did it take for your voice to drop. And what did you do during that time?
For context singing in choirs is a hobby that keeps me sane and I'd hate to lose that for a longer period of time.

@Zahlenzauberin@dresden.network @Willow@chaosfem.tw I do not sing with people for scheduling reasons. I did keep up with vocal agility exercises from when I did, but I definitely still had some losses. For the first year or so I would get stuck flipping out of head voice (it's better now but not amazing or consistent roughly 4 years in). I've fully stopped having breaks when I sing now but still experience them when speaking. I've lost my ear for my own voice, but again that's a matter of retraining that I haven't done. I have also heard of people who maintained their soprano through transition but it was done with a vocal coach so ymmv.
