    Yeahhh exactly how I feel haha. I also like my voice but also like… I need people to gender me correctly. I think right now my presentation is like kinda androgynous but my voice makes people always gender me male in person, drives me crazy.

    Im a cis guy with a high voice and I get misgendered over the phone fairly frequently. Even in person with a mask on sometimes, which is fun because when I take it off I have a mustache and I’ve gotten to watch people’s brains break in real time.

        Oh absolutely! I definitely understand being on the wrong side of gender expectations, but as a dude it really is easy mode comparatively and I have nothing to complain about. It really helped me understand my partners transition issues though, and I’m here to fuck with normies trying to pigeon hole every person they interact with into a gender binary.

    Me, when I was male presenting: Hello ma'am, how are you today?

    Me, now that I’m trying to present more androgynous: Hello sir, how are you today?

    I haven’t changed my voice in the slightest eitherpain

      Honestly I’ve had other experiences. Due to long hair I’ve been referred ma’am a few times and honestly that made me feel cute and soft and stuff. But I always love to correct them to sir. The little shock older people get when seeing a girlish boy is amazing.

      I like also to hang around trans spaces due to this because from those I can learn how to increase my beauty factor and raise the cuteness scale but I still feel best being a MAN doing MANLY SHIT, like seeing that picture of a shrimp and yelling at the top of my lungs HELL YEAH.

      It’s funky, because I also don’t feel like an egg or even wish to be a woman. Either way I love you guys.

      Oh and more thing. Trans spaces are one of the few places I can get helpful info because if you try to look up anything femboy, all you get is porn upon porn, endless sexualization and objectification and one (1) specific style of clothing. You know which one. Fuck. Thank you all.
