    How often does someone assume you’re a man when talking on a phone? It happened to me yesterday, and I took it as a sign that I need to do my voice training practice more intensely. But it did make me wonder, how often does that happen to cis women?

      Never to me but I have a high pitched voice, effeminate way of speaking and use girly phrases eg “oooooh sounds lovely!”. However I’ve got female friends who’ve been mistaken for male on the phone loads.
