Gender transition with a stutter?

Gender transition with a stutter? Howdy, I'm a 23 year old that's considered transitioning from male to female for quite a while now. I luckily have a lot of support to do that, despite living in the South, so most of the hesitations at this point are my own. One of the biggest is my voice. My logic is: "if i struggle speaking normal English as a male, what hope so I have to learn how to speak normal English as a female?" Trying to minimize stutter while doing (at least initially) a fake voice just seems so difficult. I was wondering if there were any trans stutterers on this sub, and I'd love to know more about your experiences, particularly with voice training.
