Most of us struggle with feminine vocalization in our transgender journeys.
We learn early on the process involves much more than just pitch. Many genetic women have sexy lower pitched voices. Famous examples are actresses Lauren Bacall or Jacqueline Bisset.
I recently came across this study:
"How can you tell if a person is male or female just by their voice? In general, men have deeper voices than women. However, according to a study conducted by Lal Zimman, a doctoral student at The University of Colorado - Boulder at the time of his research, the style of speech can impact perceptions of a person's gender as well, not simply the pitch of his or her voice. In fact, the letter "S" can, on its own, impact people's perception of the speaker's gender."
