It's simply not an invention or even something to go on about.
You hear 'genderless' voices every day, which is to say, voices which one couldn't place as being male or female with any reasonable accuracy.
You'd be surprised at who in your immediate vicinity has more or less a non gendered voice if you didn't have all the other 'clues' as to their gender.
In the production of synthetic voices, surely we've come across many which are de-facto genderless already.
As a blind person I'm going to have to pretty strongly disagree with this. A vast majority of the voices I hear do in fact read as male or female even without visual indicators.
