People tend to treat me very friendly and refer to me as ma’am, which feels nice. Right up until I speak then they correct themselves and say sir and it make me feel bad, on days when I’ve had enough I’ll yell at them for being piece of shit bigoted asses and they usually get scared and go back to ma’am but it’s not genuine.
Don’t rely on people in your support circles to tell you you pass, they’ll say you do even when you clearly don’t. People I know insist that my voice passes because they want to affirm or make me feel better, but I know it doesn’t because of how people treat me when I speak, also I’ve gone to voice training subs in the past on a burner account and asked if my voice was masc or fem without telling them if I was transmasc or transfem, they almost always said it sounded masc, and a small handful said androgynous. I don’t meant to be rude or mean but I don’t need people to make me feel better when I ask if I pass, I need people to be honest, even if being honest seems like it’ll hurt me, cuz you know what’ll hurt me more? Being assaulted in a woman’s space because someone doesn’t think I’m a woman. It’s happened before.
Well I guess I can kiss the idea of official HRT, Voice, and Bottom surgery goodbye in the near future, not like I could afford those last two anyway. Hopefully I won’t have to look for a new supplier, I have plenty stocked up just in case but you never know.
