I’ve been trying to teach myself with YouTube and having a really hard time, thank you for mentioning Undead Voice! I am exactly the kind of person it’s for lol. Unfortunately I probably can’t afford it while I’m still doing my laser treatments, I guess it’s time to start saving up

Damn, that’s quite the thought spiral. Like, I can see how the train of thought gets there eventually, but holy cow. There are guys out here who give negative fucks and openly treat women horribly - leering, rude comments, groping, etc. Someone going “hey, your dress looks nice!” or “hey, if you’re ever interested in coffee or a drink, here’s my number” and not being weird about it is a completely different thing.

How often is a misguided approach really ruining men’s lives though? I’m kinda struggling to imagine an approach to giving a compliment or asking someone out that can be polite, respectful, and well-intended, but still go so off the rails as to wind up on social media and ruin a guy’s life

Yeehaw! And today is my shot dayyyyyy

Gotta wait til I get home from work though

Amazing, congrats! I'm so glad it went well for you 😊

Amazing, thank you so much! Especially the tip about practicing in the car, I have a long commute rn, and it’s harder for me to make the time when I’m at home, so I’m definitely going to give that a try

Do you have any particular resources for voice training that you’d recommend? I feel like I need to find a teacher, but I can only imagine that would be pretty expensive

Are you doing okay? Kinda seems like you’re looking for a fight, and I’m not really interested in that. I hope your day gets better!

I don’t expect wage slaves to fight for me? Though I have a hard time imagining that someone would get fired over gendering a trans person correctly, and I don’t think expecting someone to use the right pronouns in a customer service environment is unreasonable.

Regardless, the woman in question was another customer making an unsolicited comment, not an employee.

One book that I found helpful, that I think is what you’re getting at, was Anarchy Works by Peter Gelderloos

We’re anarchists, so of course some people will have critiques and feel differently than he does, but I think it’s a pretty accessible overview that addresses some of your questions

I’m using my ICE car until it’s dead, but this is what I’ve got my eye on as a replacement (used, of course)

Yeah, the lady who went “skincare is so important for women and men” when my wife and I were looking at makeup the other day had no issue ignoring all that is femme about me just based on my voice
