so men naturally have deeper voices than women, usually. There are exceptions but genderal rule is you can kinda tell over the phone etc without ever seeing the persons face.

This is problematic for trans people, because they constantly get “mis-gendered” by every-day people who mean no harm but just throw out male pronouns when they hear a male voice.

the trans person is outed, “clocked”, misgendered, and it results in an emotional meltdown, and just a constant reminder to these people that society at large doesnt “see” them, the way they want to be seen.

So, to address this problem, some trans “women” will go to great lengths to change the pitch of their voice, to sound more feminized.

The problem is, speaking outside of your natural register is exhausting, and so if the trans person is speaking at length, they will tend to get fatigued, and then let their voice fall back into its natural register, which is, of course, more masculine sounding.

So what you have is someone who starts out sounding like a women, but then half-way thru the conversation they start to sound like a man.

Its rather jarring, unsettling, off-putting.

Feels fake and phony,

Just like their rest of their “socially constructed” gender persona.
