 ===Voice deepening===
-When a trans-masculine person goes on masculinizing hormone therapy, typically this will cause that person's voice to gradually become deeper.<ref name="soc 36">World Professional Association for Transgender Health. ''The Standards of Care,'' version 7. 2012. Page 36. https://wpath.org/publications/soc</ref> The process by which it happens is similar to how a cisgender man's voice dropped at puberty. The person often starts having their voice deepen 3 to 12 months after starting HRT. 1 to 2 years after starting HRT, their voice will be as deep as it is going to get.<ref name="soc 37" />
+Most individuals on testosterone will experience a gradual deepening of the voice.<ref name="soc 36">World Professional Association for Transgender Health. ''The Standards of Care,'' version 7. 2012. Page 36. https://wpath.org/publications/soc</ref> In most cases, this begins after 3 to 12 months, and is finished after 1 to 2 years.<ref name="soc 37" /> Unfortunately, the changes are permanent. This means that a trans-masculine person's voice will stay as low as it got even if they stop taking HRT. Some trans-masculine people who only want their voice to deepen a little have accomplished this by taking HRT only for as long as it took to get their voice how they wanted it, and then stop taking HRT.
