Telephone Voice

Voice

I decided two days ago to go full time on the voice - not that I have it, but that I need to keep what I have - about four months of working on it. I am at home now, between jobs.

I answer the telephone - 'I am looking for xxx (my wife)" and she explains why. I say "she's at work, I am her husband, can I help?" She say what she needs and I give her my wife's cell phone number. She says 'yes ma,m, thank you." Then she realizes I said "husband" and switches over to a confused "I mean sir."

Ahhhhh - passed on the telephone - not really trying. I am gonna keep doing that 'til I get 100% succesful What a natural high!

Well, Lizzy,

Congratulations, you are doing very well.

I can see the possibilities for really messing with a telemarketer's mind.

Switch voices with every question - they'll be ma'aming and siring themselves silly!

Love ya,

Sally

Good luck on your job search!!

Just like a woman.... not happy till she can hit the jewelry store :P Oh, uh , by the way, I'm Evan lol. Good tenacity btw.

(ok somebody, save me from myself. I'm annoying members I haven't even met yet lol.)

And Lizzy, did you think I called you "girly woman " for nothin when I saw that picture? I knew you were probably getting doubted regarding identiy, Ma'm-ed ,the entire nine yards.

yay, congratulations :) Feels great huh?

Anyway, that happens to me over the phone every now and then when someone feels the urge to specify gender based on voice. I just have a very feminine voice... I always have. At work I present male (since I haven't started a transition or anything yet), and it's funny because every customer I open my mouth to gives me the same sort of subdued o_O look after they hear my voice.

With me its really odd, I tend to have a more "toned" voice over the phone but in person though it is really different.. I never really understood it too much.

But good job though, lizzy.

Lizzy,

Congratulations, Trust me I know how exciting it is to know that your voice is becoming more and more feminine and the way you want it to sound and only helps build your self esteem and confidence. At work I used someone else's phone and used my Female voice to talk with a few people to test my new found voice and not once did I get called *Sir* or made to feel that my voice was anything else then Female. But like you I am not going to stop until I get 100% sure that my voice is as naturally feminine sounding as it possibly can.

Passing without trying moments are the greatest!

'Specially phone conversations - there's, like, no grey area with those. You either give off the right impression or you don't.

My dad called home a few months ago and after we exchanged greetings and all that, he asked if I was my brother. Who is ultra-deep-voiced and in his late twenties.

All I could do was mumble "...N-no?" and bask in glee.

      Welcome to TransPulseForums @gizgizgizzie    I hope you find this place as helpful as I do. I’m also in a slow transition living in the androgynous world. I’m out to my grown children and my extended family with mixed support from them. Some have cut me out of their lives and others want me to be their flamboyant family member.    Best wishes, stay positive and motivated    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      To escape Gaza is already an achievement. And then to be trans?’: the women defying national and gender boundaries. https://www.theguardian.com/film/article/2024/may/16/yolande-zauberman-documentary-the-belle-from-gaza-cannes-film-festival

      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....
