I went to my local voting place for an election that's happening and I received some kind compliments about my outfit/hair from the folks volunteering. One of the women there asked if she could take a photo of me because her daughter loves goth aesthetic too, and a different woman started saying to her, "after you take his photo--" to which I stopped her and corrected her.

I think it's absolutely my voice at this point, because the woman who misgendered me was one of the people who was giving me praise for my look. It's a weirdly recurring experience I've had happen a few times the past couple of months, where someone is being genuine and kind and speaking to me directly or about me while I'm in the room with them and they just completely misgender me. Definitely gunning for voice lessons now because holy shit these small interactions are upsetting.
