If you let others see you and observe you before you speak then, if your image is convincing, you're away!<br /><br />Still it was a jolt to hear you speak, especially as I have such a female mellifluous delivery (maybe not, someone once told me, I looked like Bette Midler and sounded like Billy Connolly!). I've lang syne stopped worrying. Confidence is what it's all about, confident to be who you are, mind you confidence breeds confidence and when you're confident you become even more...confident!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17733751684220142108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-50326060901646116962018-06-01T23:28:59.256-04:002018-06-01T23:28:59.256-04:00Hi Stana.

Yes, we noticed your voice that I think we were all surprised by. But I see that as a GOOD thing. You don’t speak with a voice in the usual woman’s range, but because your presentation is so confident and naturally feminine, I’d say that about 99% of people you interact with simply don’t question your gender. We as readers know your “secret”, so we listen to your voice with a bias, to see how feminine it was going to be. Because your movements and poise are so effortless natural, you pass easily. I struggle with speaking as Imogen, but I was encouraged to discover that you pass so well despite your voice, because everything else is so on-point. It’s given me more confidence as I venture out. <br />Thanks so much for all your work on the blog and for promoting such a positive image of trans folk. I have been a regular reader for a number of years but this is the first time I’ve commented.

I also HATE the coffin sized box men are expected to conform as far as dress, grooming, and mannerisms. Well meaning parents and others bring about the neurosis of masculine anxiety. <br /><br />When I folded, spindled, and mutilated my man card by going on estrogen I started to feel much better about myself.<br /><br />I have developed a feminine figure but I will not alter my voice nor my name.John C.
