    Have you tried intentionally lowering the pitch of your voice and speaking even louder? Serious question, seems like the only possible response

      Oh that’s absolutely what I do now. I’m some shade of gender fluid/NB, and my phone voice goes so high pitched when I’m stressed that it makes me very uncomfortable. I’m rooting it out.

      I’m amazed at how much differently people respond to me, depending on the gender mannerisms I use.
