As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

  • I was just chatting with an online friend (one who I don't talk to a whole lot but recently started chatting with more). I usually communicate with her by text, but I sent her a voice recording tonight.

    She said, "Oh, cool! I like your voice."

    And then I said, "Yeah, I'm still trying to sound less masculine, but I like my progress."

    Then she said, "Wait, what do you mean?"

    I said, "I'm training my voice to sound less masculine. It's very common for trans people to do!"

    Then she said, "Wait, you're trans?"

    I said, "Yeah, wait a minute, did you not know?"

    Then she said, "No. I seriously did not!"

    I thought she knew this whole time! She has seen multiple pictures of me, and my bio has a πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ in it even!

    And I said, "That's crazy. I never thought I looked feminine enough for people to basically assume I'm a cis woman."

    She said, "Well, you obviously look very feminine to me."

    Not only that, though, but she said this ALL after hearing me speak. And her initial reaction wasn't, "Wow, your voice is deeper than I was expecting" or anything like that... she just liked it and didn't question it. I guess that means that not only do I look more feminine than I think, but my voice sounds more feminine than I think too.

    We laughed for a bit, and I ultimately let her know it's a very good, validating thing. Shit's crazy.
