I was born with a multitude of problems, one being abnormalities to the larynx (as if you couldnt already guess from the topic). I've always had a high pitched voice that's slightly breathy. It's a huge source of discomfort considering I am ftm. Will I always sound like Minnie mouse?
I know that T deepen voices but I'm worried it won't have the same affect for myself and I'm curious to know if anyone else has dealt with something similar. I'm terrified of being a full bearded man with a voice that many mistake for a little girl's..
There have been a few times when I've gone out presenting as male (pre T, just binder and outfit to hide my hips) and I've spoken up only to have people around me do a double take. One guy in particular looked downright affronted like he had just seen me wipe my bottom with a slice of bread and eat it! It was disconcerting to say the least.
This is my first post so if I did anything wrong just let me know. I thought about putting it under voice therapy and surgery, but I want to know more about what I can expect from T alone. Thanks!
