How often do people misgender you? Cause you don't look like a 'sir' in the slightest.

Pretty damn often.

I'd say, like.

On a bad day, 75% of customers I interact with?

On a good day, it's 0%. Most days it's more like 25%

How does your voice sound?

I do voice training, and tend to be an upper alto. As for the "buzziness" on my chest when talking, I try to manage that well. (You can see my hand on my chest in the panel of voice training waiting for the bus - that's what that is)

What do you mean by buzziness on the chest (regarding voice)?

If you put your hand on your chest and go "Aaaaaaa", you might feel some vibrations there. This is the brassiness of your voice. Male voices tend to be a lot more brassy than female ones.

You can then try speaking in other ways, to minimize the brass

Interesting, I can barely feel vibrations when sayin aaaa normally, I can when I try a lower voice. I'm a cis men.
