Methodology: The collection was performed in the online environment using the Google Forms platform. Trans people and transvestites from Rio Grande do Norte were invited to participate in the research. Initially, the participants answered a questionnaire to characterize the sample. Participants then responded to the self-assessment protocols Vocal Fatigue Index - IFV and Vocal Disadvantage Index-10 - IDV-10, both valid for Brazilian Portuguese. The Shapiro-Wilk normality test was applied in order to verify the type of sample distribution and descriptive statistics with extraction of the mean, standard deviation and interquartile intervals for all variables studied. The inferential statistical analysis was performed with the Linear Regression test, having as a predictor the total value of the IFV questionnaire. The outcomes were tested: gender and use or not of hormones. Results: 34 trans men, 22 trans women and 2 transvestites participated in the study. The mean values obtained for the IFV questionnaire factor 1, factor 2 and factor 3 and total score are above the validation reference values for Brazilian Portuguese in both groups. The same is true for the IDV-10 questionnaire, with average values above the cut-off. On the inferential statistical analysis, after testing of the predictors gender and use or not of hormones, there was a significant association of VFI only with the outcome gender. Conclusion: Transgender individuals present symptoms of vocal fatigue and vocal disadvantage. Trans men are more likely to have vocal fatigue symptoms when compared with trans women.Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/br/VozVoiceFadigaFatiguePessoas transgêneroTransgender PersonsbachelorThesis
