Do/did you have voice dysphoria?

[AquaWhatever]

(1) yes, i do, still do but not as bad.

(2) I did and still do avoid talking sometimes or I talk really low.

(3) I would say it got MUCH better tbh. I guess it passes to most people at my job because I get "he" alot but I guess it's because most people think I'm a incredibly young guy or incredibly gay.
Short story time.
The other day at my job this older dude was talking to me and my co-worker about how many women he'd get from working as a bus driver back in the 60s. Long story short he told us learn to drive a stick shift
And went on top how much (for a lack of appropriate words) ladies we'd get then he turned to me and said he (again for a lack of appropriate words) men if that floats my boat. Lol. I'll take gay over girl any day.

(4) no, voice coaching is pointless imo because it usually sounds forced when it comes to ftm.
Not always, but usually.

(5) deal with it until I got harmones. I self with it by not talking much in public.

(6) defiantly. It's starting to get deep, but its still very feminine which I guess is why people just think I'm gay.
Even though that's stupid but whatever. My build and facial structure helps alot!

(7) read 6

( Not necessarily. It was deep but obviously you can tell I was a woman.. Look up Lisa Marie Presley. That's the best way to describe my voice prior too hrt lol.

(9) I am greatful it's deeper. But I'm looking forward to it getting even more deeper!

I kinda do now. But I'm too lazy to do any voice exercises to make it higher.

Not any more.

My voice is fine now. Nice and low, sounds a hundred times better to hear back in a recording, never gets misgendered on the phone.

It's a good feeling to hear your own voice and not hate it for how alien it sounds, even if it is so different.

Yes for me My voice is one of my biggest problems

Wouldn't it have been nice if Darth Vader had been a woman, the force Luke, the force.

Not really.  The voice is on my to do list, but not on the top.   Every time I get a  "thank you sir" when I'm on the phone I get reminded that I need to start on it soon.

So, do you or did you have it?
Not until I was a teenager, or old enough to where everyones voice started to get either masculine or feminine. Then I noticed the dysphoria with my voice.

How did that manifest itself? In particular situations or all the time? Did you avoid certain things (like talking, singing) because of it?
For me, I got quiet. It was particularly challenging because I did theatre in High School and had a voice that could carry a tune so that meant I was put in musicals where I had to sing. Otherwise, I avoided speaking or singing in front of people I knew.

Is it better now?
Not really.

Did you ever do some voice coaching?
Only on my own, did those vocal deepening exercises that are floating around the internet so I could "naturally" deepen my voice. It didn't really work for me. Oh well.

What have you done about it except for HRT?
Guess I just answered that. 

Did HRT help with it?
Only about two months on HRT, so the testosterone has yet to work it's magic and make my voice deep(er).

Did passing help with it? Or does it just out you all the time?
Definitely just get outed by my voice 100% of the time still. (well, ok, I don't pass despite efforts even if I don't talk, let's be real here.)

Was your voice deep/high for your assigned gender to begin with?
My natural tone is very high, I was cast as a mouse in a play or a reason. (I squeak really well.)

Are you okay with it now? Or have you come to terms with it anyhow? How? (haha, that rhymes  !)
Nope. But there is hope so the dysphoria should pass eventually by the voice getting deeper over time. I really want this to happen soon, too.
