Ultimately I found the pitch mattered very little. My girl voice is basically the same pitch as my guy one. The difference is instead of having that thick chest sound surrounding it, I have a softer head voice over it.

This may work if you have an above average pitch regarding the male voice range. I tested it once with my voice therapist - my voice was gendered female down to about D3 - a low female voice. But at around C3 the preception flipped for her. So there are limits.

A low undertone will sometimes be identified as masculine, male or trans in a voice.

My natural relaxed larynx voice is right around C3 with little inflection. So aside from just giving my speech more emotion I have near an octave to go.

No, do not do this unless you really feel you want can can do it. You do not need C4 - C4 is a high pitched feminine voice. It will cause a lot of strain on a voice that is originally C3. Stick better to the suggestions of Andrea James and aim at 180 Hz, that is about a F3 or G3. It is al "alto voice" , but it is clearly female and does cause less strain than trying to creat a "soprano voice".
Wit the proper resonance and inflection, a voice at G3 can be 100% female.

I just measured it. I guess it does jump a little when I do what I do. It's at about a D3 with the girl voice and an A3 with the guy one.

I think you have it backwards. D3 is 146 Hz and A3 is 220 Hz which is the sweet spot for a transgender voice.

Oops

I'm seeing what you all are talking about. Playing with my phone app, holding the voice box up as is comfortable now also naturally raises the tone by anywhere from 2-3 registers. With just some normal inflection it bounces a lot more than that. I think I can hear something that could be female in my recordings but I sound like I have a cold so there's that.
