New job as a social worker at a hospital. How should I approach their awkwardness with pronouns?
Post Body

I think I present pretty feminine. I'm not passing, and I've kept my voice the same (it's pretty deep), but otherwise, I think it is quite obvious that I'm a trans woman. I've been working here for a month, and me and my supervisor (who also fucks up more often than not) have been correcting folks, but I really feel like most folks have given up and just default to he/him/his.

I'm starting to get that creeping anxiety that I'm just a freak to them, and I feel too timid to correct my coworkers mid-conversation, especially with my voice. I'm gonna try and get a pronoun pin, but how do y'all cope in a professional environment with well-intentioned people that clearly just perceive you as man? I don't really wanna work on my voice, but I feel like it's a contributing factor and that I'll have no choice.
