The validated Transsexual Voice Questionnaire Male to Female (TVQ) and the adapted TVQ Female to Male (FtM) (TVQ) are both 30-item-long questionnaires used to evaluate self-perception of voice in transgender persons. They are part of a series of questionnaires completed by transgender persons during follow-up of cross-sex hormone therapy (CSHT). The aim of this study was to examine if these questionnaires can be organized. The TVQ or the TVQ was filled out at the start of CSHT, by 145 trans women and 83 trans men. Data were analyzed by factor analyses on both the questionnaires. The factor analyses resulted in a three-factor solution for both the TVQ and the TVQ. The three factors were labeled as anxiety and avoidance, vocal identity, and vocal function. Both the questionnaires can be organized into three factors. This could contribute to making shorter versions of the questionnaires. Shorter versions would be useful to hormone prescribing physicians to track down more quickly voice problems in trans people undergoing virilizing or feminizing hormone treatment.
经过验证的《变性者语音问卷（男变女）》（TVQ）以及改编后的《变性者语音问卷（女变男）》（FtM）（TVQ）都是由30个项目组成的问卷，用于评估跨性别者对自身声音的感知。它们是跨性别者在接受跨性别激素治疗（CSHT）随访期间完成的一系列问卷的一部分。本研究的目的是检验这些问卷是否可以进行结构优化。145名跨性别女性和83名跨性别男性在CSHT开始时填写了TVQ或FtM TVQ。对两份问卷的数据均进行了因子分析。因子分析得出TVQ和FtM TVQ均为三因子结构。这三个因子分别被标记为焦虑与回避、声音认同和声音功能。两份问卷均可分为三个因子。这有助于制作问卷的简短版本。简短版本对于激素处方医生更快地发现接受男性化或女性化激素治疗的跨性别者的声音问题很有用。
