I remember when I was around 12-13 years old, I saw a video taken of me and my sisters and cousins at a party when I was about 8, and I was shocked by how feminine my voice was. I really didn't think I was overly girly as a kid until I saw this video. I talked very much like a girl. I know all little boys have a high voices, but it was more the inflection and stuff, extremely feminine.
When I saw that video I felt really embarassed. I also remember other instances where I heard my voice played back, but even when I was trying to control my voice I still always had this very feminine sound.
Now as an adult it still happens, I've heard voice my played back from times when I didn't know I was recorded and was surprised by my own femininity. My voice is high for a guy but too deep to be mistaken as female I think, but I often wonder if when people hear me speak do they think I'm gay right away. I don't have a flamboyant voice like the stereotyped gay voice, but very quiet and feminine and passive. My "s" sound is very feminine.
Is this common with crossdressers? Another one of the telltale signs?
