Between people generally being OK about LGBT stuff here, people generally not talking to strangers, gendered honorifics not being used, and me being tall and not looking easily intimidated, it's actually quite rare for me to get misgendered, so there's kind of no need for me to pass as cis any more than I already do. Maybe I'd get hate-crimed if I spent any time in bars or such, but I don't.

I also don't really think I ever would pass to people seeing my face from within speaking distance anyway, except maybe if I put more effort into makeup than I'm currently ever going to. (Have you seen Milla Jovovich without makeup? Makes you think.)

I do want to learn to control my voice better and learn more about typical speech patterns and stuff, but I don't really want my voice to be higher than it is. Having a typical female voice is not as relevant to my life as having a voice that people find pleasant or sexy, and I think a relatively low voice is good for that. Much like with my decisions about my appearance, I'm not guided by what I think will make me look feminine as much as what I think is hot.

Well, time to make dinner. Bye.

in reply to @VampireExpert's post:

I admire this outlook. There's a part of me, a part that was way louder earlier in my transition, that doesn't want to "look trans". My dream was just to be acknowledge as a woman by the general public, and I was convinced I couldn't do that if I wasn't perfectly feminine. It's an unhealthy urge, it leads to a lot of self hate. The gradual realization that you can be cool and attractive without being a perfect mirror of cis-normative femininity is pretty powerful. Looking queer is a good thing, actually, and I'm coming around to it.

side note: your voice really is sooo sexy
