MTE. I don't have the deepest voice in the world, but I don't have "gay voice". "Gay voice" isn't even restricted to gay men, it's just most common, I think?

That DBZ shirt.

A lot of those people who wear colored contact lenses and get major cosmetic surgery do have self hate issues. And yes, if you go out of your wsy to change the way your voice because you're ashamed that it "sounds gay," that's a sign of self hate. Like you said, you're not comfortable with yourself and you're "training" yourself to fit in. It's a common feeling among gay males.

BTW, if you're getting drunk and your voice is reverting back to that, that means it's your real voice.

When I was 11 I did like I literally couldn't speak without some chav guy being "lmao boiz we gotta ourselfz a lil fhag over here!" But then when I started listening to a lot of urban/rap music from artists such as my fave etc. and also with my voice breaking I found it go very low and heterosexual sounding

As If Born This Way never happened. The self-hate in here. Embrace yourself, guys.

I've got a bit of a feminine twang but not overly so - 'gay' Australian accents sound ridiculous so I'm glad its not too pronounced

I don't think people who choose to wear contacts (or colored ones), go to the gym, get surgery, etc have self-hate issues. A lot of people do what they feel is necessary in order to live a more comfortable lifestyle. It doesn't mean they are self-loathing or have acceptance issues (not everyone is gay or has issues with sexuality).

But you are free to interpret others actions however you'd like. Everyone has their own story to tell.

I'm not trying to attack you, but if someone trains themselves to have a "straighter" voice because he's ashamed his natural one "sounds gay," it's definitely a sign of self loathing. The person is embarrassed and afraid of what others think so he willingly changes it to fit in. It's not the same as the other examples because those are general and depends on the context.

Also, if it comes out when you're a drunk, it's a sign that that's your true voice because that's when your inhibitions drop.

I sound like Adam Levine but raspy. So yeah.

I think you're reading into the scenario too deep. The reason why I generalized the topic is because I don't find people who change their appearance, mannerisms, or personality to have "self-loathing" issues. In some cases they can, but not everyone does. Some people make the conscious decision that they don't like an aspect of themselves and decide to change it. You can view that as acceptance issues, but I view it as growth. People are constantly changing.

yeah probably

please

My voice is pretty feminine. I've been addressed as "ma'am" countless times, over the phone and in person (my face is pretty feminine, as well).

I think I've trained myself to repress it after years of fear but two or three drinks later, The Queen within is unleashed.

I definitely do. I thought I didn't sound like a complete power bottom but then I heard a recording and... I do

When I was a kid talking over the phone, the other person would always think I'm a girl. It's pretty deep these days, but has the perfect amount/touch of homosexuality.
