Seconding on that fakeness/hollowness. Really hard for cis people to understand just how deep dysphoria goes.

    Them not understanding is so frustrating, I've tried talking to a couple of them about my voice dysphoria, which seems really understandable to me but they didn't get it at all. Or were just trying to make me feel better about my voice instead of validating me.

    In my understanding they are trying to comfort you but since they niether understand how it works nor the depth to which it goes their efforts fall short and they don't take it too seriously.

    It's almost like the way parents treat their children's concerns. At best it's a half serious token thing. Although maybe this is not how you see it.
