    I think I’m the sad one, I wish I passed better. I pass alright from what people say but my voice doesn’t. I’ve tried voice training but no matter what I still sound like a man (I asked outside opinions, people without seeing me said my voice sounded masculine). I wish I could get voice fem surgery so I could pass better, also bottom surgery since I hate those parts so much (not as much as I did before estrogen shriveled them up, but I still wish I didn’t have things sticking out down below).

      My advice for voice training is to make it fun. I could not get myself to do it until I started singing along to music in the car. I kept adding on techniques until I mastered all of them, but eventually, I needed to stop singing fem and start talking fem 100% of the time. If I didn’t have fun doing it, I never would have made progress.

        I have tried, I’ve tried for years. My voice is just too deep for it to sound feminine no matter how I speak, and it’s not to say that I haven’t been trying. I won’t deny that I sound slightly more feminine than I did before but it still doesn’t pass. Some people tell me it does but I do know they’re only saying it to be nice, because anyone else will greet me as miss or ma’am when they see me but then change to sir when they hear me speak, even if I’m speaking fem.
