Hanji's voice is very feminine sounding when she's supposed to be a gender ambiguous character

I agree but at the same time I understand their choice. In Japanese they have pronouns that make avoiding identifying gender pretty easy while in English it's kind of awkward to dodge it (though dubs like Soul Eater did kind of address it by having characters refer to Crona as "him" just for the sake of simplicity while they still acknowledge a couple of times that they're not quite sure if Crona is a boy or girl. They had Medusa, the only person who actually would know their real gender, refer to Crona as "it" which is pretty fitting since she's an awful person) so I kind of get why they decided to go ahead and make Hanji a girl

My issue isn't making Hanji a girl, or giving her pronouns. I personally don't have any issue with her being portrayed as female (although I have nothing against nonbinary headcanons too). But character wise she's supposed to be more androgynous and masculine. Giving her a typical feminine sounding voice is just so meh to me.

I get what you're saying but have you ever noticed how hard it is to make a voice sound androgynous in English? It's much harder than in Japanese. There's really only two things you can do, make it nasally or make it raspy. If neither of those things fit the character you're shit out of luck. The only time I've ever seen it successfully pulled off is Envy from FMA, and that went the nasally route. The raspy route's usually transparently a woman anyway.

Yeah, true. Maybe 'androgynous' isn't the right word I should have used. I still don't like how they did Hanji's voice in the dub. Have you listened to the 'Attack on Space' fan voice acting thing on youtube? I think that's an example of how Hanji's voice could have been done in English.
