My voice doesn’t pass by any means, but I do have a softer, higher register that I’ve often used in situations like that my whole life. I work on making it a little more feminine over time, and try to use it more often. My partner and I work on it all the time, because they are fully supportive of my transition and never judge.
I just had my first official endo appt and she’s referring me to a group vocal therapy for trans folks, so I’m super nervous but also super excited to practice!
lucky.
also for me, my voice is sooo deep i cant do it because it just sounds buzzy, hell i cant quietly talk because of it. i dont know why now but this gave me an incentive/motivation to start some kind of voice training
It’s my firm belief that there’s no such thing as a masculine voice.
I know, I know, but: consider After Ever After by Paint (https://yewtu.be/watch?v=diU70KshcjA), or direct speech in a well-read single-narrator audiobook. There are objective sonic qualities of a voice, but that’s not how human perception works. I can guarantee you’re overthinking it. (Though if you want to mix up your speaking habits, by all means go for it! I recommend learning to do impressions and accents, for awesomeness purposes.)
I think the giant smile on my face, and blush in my cheeks would say more than words…
Nobody has been that blunt with me yet. They have found many ways to give me feminine compliments tho. A demure “awww thanks” is my standard reply.
I wish I could say that but my masculine voice would completely ruin it

i’d be inclined to agree but how things are now society doesnt agree so…
