    My darling old aunt used to sneeze so loud that it would jump scare me on the floor above, while gaming, with headphones. It sounded like lightning crashing down. I miss my Aunt…

    My lovely, beautiful wife usual scares the shit out of me when she sneezes. I have never heard any man go as loud, ever. Some people just have amazing lung capacity and vocal chords!

    my larynx goes up high when I sneeze and usually I sound pretty cute, this was actually a problem for me pre-transition

    coughing on the other hand, is harder - I always want to open my chest and lungs and cough deeply, which uh, sounds not feminine

      I generally get zero warning for sneezes, and they are always powerful; I’m usually dazed for a good 5-10 seconds after, and trying to hold it back can cause full body aching and pain (or it might hurt even if i don’t, sometimes). 😕

      Id love it if my entire head wasn’t dysfunctional. Deviated septum, tinnitus, photosensitivity + astigmatism, severe year round allergies/excessive mucus production, giant head too big for most hats. At least my teeth aren’t bad i guess?

    unfortunately I have my fathers sneeze which means every time I sneeze it registers on the Richter scale halfway across the world… and if I supress the sneeze I feel like my eyeballs will pop out -_-

    cis dude i know has the daintiest, high-pitch low volume sneezes. He’s a good dad and male role model

    we dont choose our traits, but TV/social media sure as fuck has curated a very specific box which we all should ‘supposedly’ fit in.

    Convinient for a certain few who profit from marketing to a particular over-catered-to demographic, no?
