I know I've said this before, but if your voice is that much of a source of discomfort for you, then you should probably invest in some free spectrogram software and calibrate it to the desired range, then just go through very small, daily exercises for a year or so until you reach that range naturally. It can be done, and it is frequently done (even in later years).
I know you might feel it's "too late" for that, but I'd really just have to disagree.
While your voice, in this circumstance, did indeed illuminate the ignorance and reactionary, simplistic thought processes of the average 21st century male youth, I don't think it's worth all of this discomfort on your part. That is to say, I don't think you should have to dissuaded from speaking for any reason (unless you actually don't want to speak, in which case, it works out).
I DO understand the feeling of very deep, internal exhaustion with all of this bullshit. So if your decision is to just say "fuck it" and let people be what they will, then I can absolutely get behind that.
