genderspace-web 🌌

Welcome to genderspace-web. At its heart, this platform is a resource primarily built with transgender individuals in mind. While it's open to everyone within the LGBTQIA+ community 🏳️‍🌈, the features and tools are largely centered around the unique experiences of transgender folks.

Proposed Features 🛠

1. Voice Training System 🎙

A simple, practical approach to:

• Help users practice pronunciation.
• Analyze elements like tone, pitch, and resonance.
• Opportunities for peer feedback in the future.

2. HRT Progress Tracker ⏳

Please Note: This is an auxiliary tool and does not replace medical advice.

• Users can log their HRT experiences over time.
• Capture physical and emotional changes.
• Option to track blood levels, compared to general benchmarks.

3. Community Hub 💬

A space for genuine connections and shared experiences:

• Moderation tools to ensure a safe environment 🛡.
• Users have the ability to report any concerns ⚠️.
• Customizable profiles to express oneself 🎨.

4. Discord Bot 🤖

Still in the conceptual stage, aiming for better community integration.
