When I make calls I am never mistaken for a woman. So I always expect my voice to be the big give away. But I am beginning to think otherwise. As I have posted in the past, I push the fashion envelope by wearing women's clothes and jewelry when presenting as a male. I do not have on breast forms or hip pads and do not use foundation to cover my facial hair.
Well last night was interesting. My wife and I decided to have a quick dinner at the Denny's restaurant when we got up to Big Bear. I had on women's dress paints, and layed top with the pink showing. I was also wearing long dangling earrings, necklace and rings. The manager greeted us as ladies and since she was short handed she served us and during the entire dinner said ladies and ma'm. She even complimented the color of my nail polish.
The most interesting thing was when I was paying I commented that my hands were very sticky from dinner. At that points she told me that the ladies room was down the hall on the right. So even after all the talking we did and me paying with a credit card with my male name she still thought of me as a women.
So how important is our voice when we are out enfemme?
