目的:目前没有关于英语文献中识别为非二进制和性别酷儿(NBGQ)的个体的语音和通信修改训练(VCMT)结果的研究报告。这项研究旨在描述VCMT对接受12周性别确认VCMT计划的NBGQ个体声音的客观和主观影响。
方法:对参加VCMT项目的NBGQ个体进行回顾性连续病例系列。人口统计,变性人自我评价问卷(TSEQ),基频(F0),和频率范围是在程序之前和之后收集的。
结果:四名NBGQ个体在2019年1月至2021年6月之间登记;平均年龄为27.0岁。虽然在这个案例系列中代表的所有四名参与者都显示出至少一个最初目标的改善,只有1人提高了他们的F0和TSEQ评分;其他3名参与者的结果好坏参半.
结论:在我们的病例系列中,NBGQ个体在完成VCMT后,自我报告的结果和声学测量的变化得到了改善。尽管声学测量的变化很小,但个人的主观结果却有了显着改善,反之亦然。需要更多的研究来更好地了解NBGQ个人的语音和通信需求,以及他们与VCMT的结果。

OBJECTIVE: There is currently no research reporting solely on outcomes of voice and communication modification training (VCMT) in individuals who identify as non-binary and genderqueer (NBGQ) in the English literature. This study aimed to describe the objective and subjective impact of VCMT on the voice of NBGQ individuals undergoing a 12-week gender-affirming VCMT program.
METHODS: A retrospective consecutive
case series of NBGQ individuals enrolled in a VCMT program was performed. Demographics, Transgender Self-Evaluation Questionnaire (TSEQ), fundamental frequency (F0), and frequency range were collected before and after the program.
RESULTS: Four NBGQ individuals enrolled between January 2019 and June 2021; the mean age was 27.0 years. While all four participants represented in this
case series showed improvement in at least one of their initial goals, only one improved both their F0 and TSEQ scores; the other three participants had mixed results.
CONCLUSIONS: NBGQ individuals experienced improvements in self-reported outcomes and changes in acoustic measures after completing VCMT in our
case series. Individuals experienced significant improvement in subjective outcomes despite small changes in acoustic measures, and vice versa. More research is needed to better understand the voice and communication needs of NBGQ individuals, along with their outcomes with VCMT.
METHODS: Level 4.
