      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!

      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.)
