Local group was actually much more understanding of dysphoria then I necessarily expected, it was nice. Glad I shared.
voice dysphoria
Although people tell me my voice sounds like a woman's, it absolutely doesn't though?? I sound like a guy in their 20s. And like duh, ofc I sound like that. But multiple people have told me they think I have a nice voice or it sounds like a woman's, I mean I guess they're being nice idk..voice gendering
Not sure how much time they spend listening to trans fems talking, but I know I automatically gender typical early-voice-training transfem voices as women. Like one time I was listening to a streamer being surprised when they were correctly gendered over the phone and I was confused why they'd be surprised. They just sound like a woman to me. So I asked my cishet cousin for his opinion and (after I insisted I just wanted his honest opinion and there was no right or wrong answer as long as it was his sincere opinion cause he was clearly hesitant to answer), he said he'd have gendered her as male if judging just by voice. I still think streamer has a more negative opinion of her voice than what reality justifies: we are often our worst critics.So, no clue if they are just in an unusual group who've have expanded how they gender based on voice compared to the average population, if they're just being nice/afraid of offending, or if you just sound like a woman to average people. Nor could I give any sorta of realistic judgement. Either way, every person sounds like themself, so if someone is a woman then they automatically sound like a woman, so it ain't a lie.

It's possible you have a naturally bright resonance, or you have a varied intonation (rising and falling of pitch while talking, as opposed to monotone), or you could have strong articulation and a soft or small voice, or a combination of the above. There's a lot of things that go into a voice beyond pitch, and a high pitch isn't necessarily required to read as feminine.I can't say without actually hearing your voice, but there are a number of different factors that go into gendering a voice. They could be picking up on something real.
Want me to send a voice clip when I get home? And you can tell me if there's any specific thing there. Dw if not
Sure why not? I'm not an expert or anything but I can give you another opinion.
