Misgendered Due To Voice
So I am not trans, but just a straight male in early 20s that’s autistic. My voice is high pitch cus during puberty I fought my voice cracks to prevent my voice from deepening. When I talk on the phone with my “phone voice” I get mistaken as a woman and get called “she” and “mam“ a lot. I work in retail in customer service and customers and some other employees will often mistaken me as a woman if I speak to them from behind when I speak with my “customer service voice”. However, the employees in my team often see me and recognize my voice so they don’t misgendered me as much as other teams. I really hate it when this happen but I don’t correct people when they misgender me. My twin brother whose not autistic and didn’t fight his voice cracks have a deeper voice than mine but it’s still on the higher pitch end, but he haven’t told me that he gets misgendered. There is someone at my store who is a young trans man and he sometimes get mistaken as a woman by employees in other teams and customers. His voice also sounds like a woman's voice despite identifying as a man. When we answer the phone at work we have to state our names so misgendering doesn't happen as much to me and the trans man over the phone when customers call the store. I don’t know if there’s anything I can do at this point to get my voice deeper and sound more like a man.
