Hearing Gender: Voice-Based Gender Classification Processes and Transgender Health Inequality

Abstract: This study examines the link between self-rated health and two aspects of gender: an individual’s gender identity, and whether strangers classify that person’s voice as male or female. In a phone-based general health survey, interviewers classified the sex of transgender women ( n = 722) and transgender men ( n = 446) based on assumptions they made after hearing respondents’ voices. The flawed design of the original survey produced inconsistent sex classification among transgender men and transgender women res… Show more

“…Whereas sociomedical feminists examine the ways that medical scientists sex bodies (Fausto-Sterling 2000; Jordan-Young 2010), embodied gender scholars are interested in the ways that the sexed body is perceived by others.

Furthermore, the sexed body itself may be in the midst of a transformation.…”

“…Furthermore, the sexed body itself may be in the midst of a transformation. The locus of sex has expanded to include more visible and noticeable features such as the jaw and brow line, facial hair, and voice (Lagos 2019; Plemons 2017). Thus, attributions of sex depend on both visible and audible (facial features and vocal pitch) and less visible (external genitalia) parts of the body.…”
