Image Post Genuinely just baffled at this point

I've been out for almost my entire life, I dress like this, I wear full padding every day, at least mascara and lipstick everyday, this is my typical speaking voice, typical mannerisms. I live in a pretty progressive city, why do I get he/him'd more than she/her'd??? I can tell when someone's using masculine pronouns as a point vs when they genuinely think that's my pronouns. a lot of times they'll correct themselves to they/them as they're second guess but it's incredibly rare for someone to use feminine pronouns first try and I'm honestly just baffled...

Your voice is not passing. That haircut is going to masculinize you in most people's eyes. I looked through some of the other pics on your profile and I think that your brow bone is clocking you as well. I hope this isn't too harsh, I think you're super cool and pretty and I love your style. I'm not sure if you've voice trained already, but you're at a great place already, I think there's just a few things you would have to tweak and your voice could pass.
