I think he genuinely meant well, and I talked to him about being transgender. He said, "You look like a girl, it's just the voice..." —gotta work on this voice...

it can be harmful to perpetuate uncritically the idea that it's on you to "work on" your own voice tbh. deep voiced women are women

Agreed. Not a hill to die on but definitely an angle worth considering.

Your voice sounds passable to me, and I actually really like it.

Maybe it's just a problem with being tired and you not being able to keep the pitch maintained. I have the same problem, and I hate it.

1) totally not appropriate for him to ask you that question 2) use your voice the way YOU feel comfortable. It’s YOUR voice!

I'm not trans, but I have dealt with dysphoria regarding my voice and I did some voice training myself to feminize my voice. Some advice:pic.twitter.com/fDIqqwZ7U9

I hope this helps. I don't know if it will, but I thought I'd try. You're not alone.
