I’ll just be minding my own business and then be hit by a memory reminding me that when I was in elementary school I hated screaming bc my voice wpuld go so high and get stuck there so I would scream like Marlin from Finding Nemo to train my voice to stay low. and any doubt I have that maybe I’m not trans melts away under the power of my burning lifelong gender queerness

#this was tragically undone in middle/high school when I was put in choir and HAD to sing high notes bc I wasn’t allowed to sing tenor #and due to the many years being the o my reliable person in these groups I was stuck singing high pitches for a long time #*only #I mean I also always sang shit like Defying Gravity so it wasn’t like i hated having a higher voice ALL the time #I just wanted it to sound like I clearly had a low voice #like the way Indina Mendel sings as Elphaba makes it sound like her voice is lower than it actuallly is bc of the breathiness #I also spoke like Sonic a lot so I wasn’t going to train my voice to be anything but a high tenor LMAO #i also would constantly chase a group of boys around trying to join their games bc I thought if I cought a cool enough group they’d let me #sometimes they did but always with the caveat that I had to ‘prove’ I could be there and I was a fragile kid LMAO
