So in the meantime I've found it pretty fun to 'test out' or play with my female voice on drive through's. For some reason I find their audio always makes things a fair bit deeper, which is a huge boost to the self esteem when you're told 'Drive up to the window, Hon/Dear,Miss.' (Right now I'm batting 80-90%* :laugh:) Sometimes I've even been asked 'Where did she go?' when I'm in my work(boy) clothes. I guess this is good setting the bar pretty high?
It's also pretty funny. Cruelly funny. But I'm sick like that.
Anyone else tried this? Go on, admit it. XP

I wonder - can you misgender them back if they do it? Like if they call you sir but you are a woman, can you just say something back and use a wrong pronound deliberately? I would like to do that if it happened.

I used to do that alot back when I was teaching myself to sound like I did before my voice got deep as a teenager. I would go through the phone book and call different restaurants and businesses and ask about whatever just to find out if the person I was talking to could tell I was a girl. At first it really helped to introduce myself with a common girl name like Ann or Sue. Six months or so of practice and people could always tell I'm was a girl as soon as I said hello!

I'd do this but the nearest drive thru is probably a half hour away. But now you've got me thinking about the Colonel's balls. I mean, "popcorn chicken"(?)
