Just wanted to share my voice changes in celebration of finishing my first vial of T!
Also, went in for a job interview this week and since I changed my name to Charlie I know that it is a name that can go either way for me as far as being gendered, sometimes I get asked if it's short for Charlotte that sort of thing. So the entire interview I was curious what they thought because I have reached the point where I am read male 80% of the time even speaking, but if I speak for long periods of time I don't always pass and I have a harder time been read as male by males around my age. So when the one male interviewer referred to me as he, I was giddy with excitement.
I didn't know how else to put these in here
here is my first recording that I made and my latest one

Just by your voice I'd read you as a gay male. It's interesting how a lot of trans guys sound gay. I don't think that it's the tone or anything more how you say the words?

my best friend says I sound like a stereotypical gay male. but the fact that I pass while talking now is perfectly fine by me, in conversation I tend to have a much higher voice, so I am happy with sounding male gay or otherwise. :)
