I'm a male and I graduated this year. This morning I was thinking about all the cool stuff that I got to do in my senior year and then I remembered something really embarrassing from my sophomore year. This one guy from my math class tried to ask me out because he thought I was a girl. He literally thought I was a girl! We saw each other every day in math! And he thought I was a girl? Then I realized, I kind of do sound like a girl. And I'm pretty short (5'6.) And I grew out my hair kind of long then. From then on that year I felt really insecure and got really angry whenever a girl tried to talk to me for no reason.
And then I remembered once I was ordering pizza over the phone for pickup and whatnot. When I went to go get the pizza the girl working there seemed pretty shocked and she was laughing with her friend about something. And then she said "I'm sorry, you just really sounded like a girl!" I guess this was the funniest thing ever to her. I didn't order pizza from that place ever again.
Anyway I've been thinking about all these embarrassing things that happened. Like maybe I could get voice surgery? But that's expensive and I don't have the patience to deal with the repercussions. What if I took testosterone or something? Does that make your voice deeper? I'm just really sick of sounding like Eleanor from Alvin and the Chipmunks. How can I change my voice????

Go get speech therapy. You have puberphonia and it usually gets better with that. If not then check with your local physician.
ReplyLook into vocal lessons so you can do this stuff safely, otherwise you might permanently damage your voice

ReplySee an endocrinologist in case there's something hormonal going on, and then find a speech therapist. Puberphonia is treatable.
But also, why feel embarassed over sounding like a girl? To quote Iggy Pop: "I'm not ashamed to dress like a woman because I don't think it's shameful to be a woman." - don't be ashamed to sound like a woman, either.
If people wanna give you shit about this, you don't have to take it off them. Just imagine a sheet of perspex between you and them, and watch the shit awkwardly slide onto the floor. They threw it - that's their problem.
I hope you will be able to "man up" in all the ways you wish - you deserve to feel comfortable in your own skin.
