Passing

[Majella St Gerard]

I was told tonight from a GG friend of mine that the fist time she met me she thought I was a woman, until I spoke. I must be doing something right, now to really work on the voice.

Hi Majella, I get that to, being a little older then you I tend to blend in good. The voice is hard , being that you have to do it all the time. So not living 100% of the time as a women you tends to forget who you are some times. I also catch my self going to the women bath rm some time, when I am in male mode. Jo

Hi Mijella:hugs:, I think that a lot of us pass until we speak and that is the deal braker...:daydreaming:...

I don't have a manly voice but it can go deep, I try to speak normally just using the top range of my voice. And the biggest thing I have learned recently is to talk, the more you talk and own it the more it will seem normal to them. I left Zales yesterday after buying my wife some earrings for Christmas and I am pretty sure the saleswoman was still trying to decide if I was a woman or not.

I agree with Kimberly Jean, the more you speak and more engaging you are the more normal it will seem when in public.

I'm working on my voice and still have a long way to go but at least now I speak more softly and slower. I haven't had the success that some of you have had but I can hope!

Like others have said blending is really important. I love my cocktail dresses and heels but I find I'm spending more and more time out in leggings and sweaters now.

In addition to dressing, practicing the many feminine mannerisms are very enjoyable parts of what l do. Practice, practice, practice and all will improve. My wife is my "teacher ". She's helped with makeup, walking in heels, voice, hand and other feminine mannerisms as examples of challenges that I'm continually practicing. The first several attempts are humorous. We laugh and try again. Videos are a great help. As far as voice, I've found that talking softly, slowly, a smile and eye contact seem to work. My reward is as KimberlyJean said...are they wondering. (Smile) 💁 In our area, blending in is # 1.

Hi Majella, your posted photo is very attactive, so I can see why you pass. I have tried voice modulation, but I do not think I am proficient at it.
Love, Sabrina

Maybe shoot for a Lauren Bacall tone? That would be easier to aim for. There probably weren't many people accusing her of being a guy.

I have a high but soft voice. On the phone they think I'm a woman.
