Unintentional Passing
Nov 09, 2018
This happened pretty recently, and it both helped and worsened my dysphoria? Knowing that I pass as a guy even when I'm not specifically trying is AWESOME, but it makes me really hate my voice, since it's always the thing that gives me away. Oh well.

I’m sorry this happens to you.
I’m trying think of how to phrase this next part. It keeps coming out weird... Not all men have deep masculine voices anyways so it’s kind of rude of her to assume in general based on voice alone. She originally thought you were a man so why should the way you sound make a difference to what she originally perceived you as?
I don’t know, maybe it’s just me. I have friends who are trans and also cisgender male friends whose voices are higher pitched so I just don’t understand how someone sounds should determine someone’s gender. Not everyone sounds alike anyways. There are many different voice types.
I don’t even know if what I just typed will end up making sense to you. If it does, well great because I’m tired and not sure how well my brain can process words right now.
And try not to let those types of people get to you.

Short little slice of life comics about my experiences as a trans person. Sometimes funny, sometimes serious, but always 100% me.
