    If I could go back and do it again, I would fucking embrace it.

    She should use that voice to defend her autonomy, and to sound like herself. Seriously.

    I work in hard science IT, and as I shed my feminine vocal habits, my job is easier. People listen to me more. My life is better, I’m not forcing my thoughts through a Play-Doh mold of intonation.

    It can absolutely be a skill, because it will set her apart!

      She is a unique person in many ways, so I’m not worried about that. It just sucks that people will give her shit for her voice.

      The only problem with the monotone thing is she’s basically tone deaf, but she’s fine with that.

        Ha me too. I’m bad with controlling my voice in general, tone and volume included, and it gets harder when I’m tired lol
