Calling into a talk show

[Charlize]

I couldn't stand some of the comments i heard on the radio in my hearing protection headphones. I was cutting down a tree when the show started so when the tree fell i called in.

At least they didn't call me "it". It is hard to debate with folks who have a way of often being much less than accepting. The other calls were all abusive. I'm not used to hearing my own voice. I'm not sure i like it.

Hugs,

Charlize, you did absolutely fantastic with that interview. I am so proud of you. You didn't take any of their guff, you came across as an intelligent, nice, polite, but determined person who knows her own mind and isn't afraid to speak it. I got the feeling that the hosts felt very sympathetic and impressed with you. Their in vitation to come to the station some time seemed sincere, I also disagree with the one who said you sounded male; I think they were expecting some hyper-feminine voice, but yours is well within the normal female range. if I heard you on the phone, I would not think you were male.

Thanks for putting yourself out there, Charlize. And thanks for sharing it.

HUGS

Charlize, I am so proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What an awesome discussion you had with those 2 chicken-heads yes, you won it many times over. I'm glad that you were able to pick up their underbreath slurs and proceed to correl them and then de-bunk anything that they were saying. He has invited you to meet with them. I hope you take them up on their offer.

Great job Kiddo Mr Dennis is misnamed he is a very big RICHARD!!! Please truncate that to the shorter D version.

I think he is just as comfortable being a lower posterior grommet as he is being the far superior man. Refer to first paragraph. I didn't have much use for her either.

I would tell him right up front when he spewed that crap, he can't understand your sexual preference. Dink, you are a prime example why I don't do men or boys like you!

I would tell her it may be nice to engage in a face to face conversation once, but Honey, don't plan on me for tea, makeovers or shopping. The only thing we have in common little girl is gender.

Guess that's why they didn't invite me. Giggle, no change that to LOL!!! hug. JodyAnn

Good for you Charlize, this is exactly the kind of dialog (loosely put) that our society needs to have.

Joe 6 pack, might even get it someday.

Very well done, Charlize!

You even got them to the point where they "are starting to like you"

And I don't think you are abby-normal, I think you are exceptional!

I don't like hearing my own voice either Charlize, but funny you should mention that. I was told today by a (assumed) cis female (that I assume has no idea I'm trans) that I have a nice voice . I totally agree with Carolyn in the fact that you didn't sound male at all and If I'm not mistaken, that was the female on the talk show that called you a male - I'm not impressed.

Charlize you did an excellent job. You were calm and collected and know who you are. If they are serious about meeting you I wuld take them up on te offer. It's an educational moment possibly.

I wish they would've refrained from talking over you so much. How incredibly rude.

And no, your voice is fine. You sound quite a bit like my Oma, actually. But maybe I'm biased, I like her voice.
