So looking at me, I look mostly masculine. But talk to me on the phone, and I pass as either a male or female. I absolutely love it when Im mistaken for a female. Its like a little admission of the fluidity that is me. Just something that happened today that made me happy.
A similar thing happened to me today at work. Currently, as I am still largely closeted and having to pretend to be female in every day life, people regard me as a girl. *grimace* But... when ignorant strangers are concerned, things get more interesting. I always hope when someone is referring to me that they "mistake" me for a guy. It just feels very satisfying. And you know, it's kind of funny, since even when I'm not "trying" to be masculine, 8/10 times people think I'm male. If that doesn't tell you something I don't know what will.
So far it only happens over the phone, and its never really bothered me, but I always felt like I SHOULD be embarrassed. In fact, when I was in denial, I was embarrassed. But now that Im here and accepting these things about myself, I just enjoyed it. ---------- Post added 6th May 2015 at 03:54 PM ---------- hehehe just happened again!
That's awesome! I'm pretty jealous. I have a long way to go in training my voice, much less have a natural in-between one. Some people would probably be annoyed at being mistaken, but I'm so glad you get happiness from it!
I've been mistaken for a girl before on the phone a number of times; I kinda like it, even though I'm not trans or anything.
I actually dont think its anything I am doing. I just naturally slip into a voice that sounds like a female (I guess). I notice if I drink when I hear it, my voice will deepen again. What was funny was, when I was married, Id be mistaken for a woman and she would be mistaken for a male. Go fig.
