Wrong number - sound like a guy

I was taking a nap when a phone call came through on my cell phone I missed the phone call I called back half awake the number on the call display and a girl answered I asked the girl hi somebody just called my number and she asks me if this was Kaitlin and I said Kaitlin yeah this is Kaitlin  She says this is Kaitlin and I say correcting myself this is Krisina and she replied I sound like a guy and hung up.

That really didn't make me feel good I wasn't expecting a wrong number call, I was half awake and I wasn't thinking about vocal range either.

Aw, dang, girl, I know how you feel. It really sux when that happens. But you know as well as I do that voice is a tough nut to crack, it sometimes it just doesn't work the way you want. You certainly had a good reason - an unexpected call when you're half awake is not the best situation.

You'll do better next time, I'm sure. Just chalk it up to a bad day and put it behind you.

HI Krisina!

I am sorry for your experience. I know this won't set you back! :D

I try hard to not respond to any calls when I am not completely awake.

It never goes well for me when I rush to answer while still groggy.

You are so sweet!

Hugs!

Thanks Carolyn and Brad. I'll try and remember for next time. Or, at least try not to be tempted to phone back a number if they haven't left a message on voice mail.

Kaitlin is one to talk, she apparently can't use a telephone! Don't worry about it, someone you don't know who obviously isn't very mannerly. My aunt sounds like a gentleman, but you would never catch me letting her know that over the phone! I love my auntie.

Like water off a ducks back, let it slide :)

Uggh - that can be rather distressing to have happen. Something I have found that worked for me when I found myself in that type of situation is to grab a glass of water really quick. I have no idea if it would work for others, but it seemed to help me when I was working my way to my female voice.

      Accidents happen.  So do heat-of-the-moment murders, without premeditation or trans-related hate.  It will take a trial to really figure it out.     One thing we can see from this is that it is people in our circles of acquaintances, friends, and partners who are the ones who usually hurt us.  Not someone random. We have to be careful who we trust.

      Friday May 17th is IDAHOBIT (International Day Against HOmophobia, BIphobia and Transphobia).   Do you acknowledge or celebrate it? Do you do anything special for it, like taking part in any organized events or activities?   I'm not an activist and I prefer to fly under the radar, but I am slowly becoming aware of important dates. I have been aware of the date of IDAHOBIT for a few weeks now, but other important 'rainbow' dates have not been etched into my brain yet.    I will wear my favorite pride t-shirt as a token acknowledgement of the day, but it probably won't be seen; cool weather here will mean that it will be hidden under a sweater.

      Happiness for me comes from being cognizant of the things that make me feel good.   Sunshine.   Pandering to my inner woman.   Knowing that some people in my life really 'know' me.   Vacations, and Eggs Benedict at an alfresco cafe.   My wife and I being telepathic.   Grandchildren.   Music.   Wine!

      True.  Every trans death is not a hate crime. There is so much hate expressed by some people, that we kinda get to expect it.

      happiness to me is being ME. At all times, and it has yet to happen.

      Hello & welcome, giz! Your post makes me remember how excited I was to join here too. I also had queer friends at the time I joined, but any of my trans friends lived a long distance away. So most local queer friends are gay & I felt uncomfortable coming out to them bc I couldn't assume they'd understand genderqueerness. So it was a thrill to join here and immediately have access to do many wonderful, genuine, kind & thoughtful friends-to-be.   Are you saying you're concerned that if you come out to your queer friends that somehow your parents will find out?     My love, I just want to affirm that that's not a weird dysphoria. It's just dysphoria. And we definitely get it. You're in good company here!     Look forward to seeing you around here & getting to know you. I shoot for androgynous appearance as well, leaning towards masculine.   Hope you're having a splendid day!

      Listening to a YouTube mix for me and this song came up and I immediately fell in love again and just want to play music with like minded musicians playing OUR music and feel the joy and fulfillment even if no one else gets it. I love to fall into the music....

      What is happiness for you?

      Funny.....   The day-centre transportation director told me yesterday morning that I was to receive an award, my picture on the website, etc... for having won the billiards tournament (I knew better).   Later that afternoon he returns to "shake my hand" and tell me, "thanks for participating."   I could have told him that was all I would receive earlier. I'm not well liked by management.

      Feelings are joyful as happiness spreads.
