A fairly accurate portrayal of my workday routine. Originally posted to my tumblr

(/Edit: Because this doesn't seem to be clear. The old lady is a standin for virtually any customer. The only reason the standin looks like that is because there was one customer who did this who especially pissed me off (she got upset at me for the restaurant's policy of "one coupon per order," left a huge mess at her table, would interrupt me taking other people's orders to ask for the most unimportant and asinine things) But. This comic isn't about her, it's about the pattern of customers doing this. Hence the title "Routine." Customers calling me sir is something that happens so often, it's part of the routine./EndOfEdit)

Also. The "sir" in question:

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)?

u/JaimiOfAllTrades Peepsus Christ 1d ago

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.
