i’m at this weird phase where i look fairly fem (shoulder length hair, smaller frame(?), etc.), wear nothing traditionally feminine, but still get misgendered if i don’t speak. i had this experience lately at the station where i was knocking on the bathroom door to see if it was occupied and a child around 13 told me “it’s occupied miss”, who looked slightly confused when i verbally responded.
maybe it’s the shackles of society still chaining me down🥺🥺 maybe i never consciously realised that my set of behaviours were inherently feminine; im struggling to free myself from the expectations of others’ of me being a woman
i’m very euphoric and happy with how much deeper my voice is, but i still haven’t come around about speaking naturally. it’s strange, i feel like i have to force myself to try to speak at a higher pitch.. mostly with my mother; she knows about me medically transitioning and is neutral towards it…. idk maybe this is all a part of a bigger issue i need to solve that stemmed from my mother hahah
just curious if anyone else has a similar experience (i do feel very teenage-boy-embarrassed-of-voice-changing… so everything is fine and i’m just being silly and overthinking).
mostly a celebratory post!! i never realised my voice caused me so much dysphoria until it dropped. vv perculiar💭🪲
