Do you know how to get rid of the feminine accent? My voice is super deep but I still have that inflection in my voice that bothers me a lot. I didn't even notice it before my voice dropped but it's very apparent now
Voice and Speech Therapy should be accessible within your Gender Clinic (at least it is in the UK). If that is something you are interested in undertaking, here is some information here about what this type of therapy involves: [1] [2]. Gender specialists recommend trans people undergo this type of therapy before/after starting hormone therapy, as it helps to get the best results from hormones. Hormones too are sometimes not enough to masculinise/femininise the voice.
You can also train your voice at home through online guides, apps and youtube videos. You said your voice is deep but you still feel like you can hear a feminine pitch. It is possible that you are hearing a feminine voice because you have been used to your previous voice for so long.
There is an app called Voice Pitch Analyser, that records your voice and tells you the range your pitch is within. If your voice is in the male range, it is very likely your brain has just not got used to your current pitch yet. Me, being 2 years on T, there are times I feel like my voice is coming across more feminine than it actually is (and I know this because I have been told it isn’t feminine at all).
Understand though, that voices in general are not strictly deep or high all the time. Pitches change among men and women, depending on how we speak too (for example: if you are momentarily enthusiastic your pitch will increase).
There are cis men who have a higher pitch than me. Regardless of your pitch, this does not invalidate you as male. I can understand your concern though and so if it is distressing for you, here are some links below to help you:
