Do Our Voices Always Reveal Our Gender?
If "sex" is anatomical, and "gender" is a construct, then it can be assumed that our vocal range would establish sex, while the way that we speak establishes gender. Or does it?
The clip above was made by a teenage boy, who frequently gets mistaken for a girl. He took to the streets of Santa Cruz, CA to ask random strangers if they think he’s a boy or a girl. The results were mixed, but amazingly (and hilariously), everyone had an opinion, and was more than willing to share it. I think the confusion may revolve around his androgynous haircut, young age (which includes lack of facial hair, somewhat high-pitched voice, etc.), and the fact that a lot of street wear is unisex.
