Recently, United Airlines decided to allow for a non-binary gender option for booking flights. All the comments on social media were people screaming about how the liberal agenda was coming to get them, how there's only two genders, get over it, etc. "What, am I supposed to guess if that's a man or a woman sitting next to me now?!" But nobody is forcing these people to pick a new option. They can just select the one they've been selecting their whole lives. It literally does not affect them at all. But they still have an irrational hatred for an irrelevant option.

If some people want a genderless voice, yeah, I think tech companies should adopt it. If it makes someone more comfortable, and it doesn't harm me in any way, I'm not going to bag on it.
