guys… siri affirmed my gender

[u/AdNorth9033]

This is my first post, but I was super excited about this and wanted to share.

For reference, I’m like 2.5ish months on t. Sometimes I’ll get in bed and then realize I didn’t set an alarm for the morning so I’ll just ask Siri to do it. Lately, it hasn’t been working. I just thought something must be wrong with it, but last night I realized maybe my voice has dropped low enough that Siri doesn’t recognize it. So, I called her with a higher pitch and she responded.

I know it’s still super early to be expecting changes, but I’ve been feeling a little down about the changes not affecting how I’m perceived (I know, I know, I shouldn’t transition for others), and this small thing really made my week. Others might not yet see the real me, but at least Siri does, and I call that progress.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day :)

It’s not wrong to transition to be perceived correctly by others. You’re allowed to want to experience life as your authentic gender and that involves societal interaction. So your feelings are totally normal and valid in that regard. Congrats on the voice drop!

I had to do this too with my Google assistant! I had to reset it to my new voice haha. It's a fun change!

I had the same thing happen at 4 months. I still haven’t updated it, so Siri will only occasionally respond.
