What if it’s a male that identifies as a woman?
And how sexist is it to assume that there are “male voices” and “female voices”?
KIRO-
“That new monstrous voice” and begs, “PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAKE IT STOP.”
Another from @SeattleSubway said, “Announcements are getting universally panned by riders” and asked Sound Transit, “Is it possible to turn them off?”
Yet another said, “@soundtransit – sexist much?”
And there was this request – “Can you turn that s— down or go back to the nice lady.”

How about Mel Blanc doing his classic train call on the Jack Benny program of the train leaving for Anaheim, Azusa and Cucamonga, it works for me but I’m an old guy and always thought that was funny.
I just don’t understand what the problem is. Democrats in power, that problem I understand.
Let me guess, two lesbians complained.
have the voice be a Marine DI … that’ll get their attention
… when they protest that just put on some PDT 🙂
“Next stop, filthy homeless-infested Pioneer Square. It’s disgusting. Keep America Great”
It’s pretty clear now that Seattle is a Sanctuary City…
…for Zombies.
Since I don’t plan to ever be a commuter in Seattle I don’t really care!
BTW – Limiting the choices to only two genders in Seattle had got to be chaffing a lot of Queers out there!
On a loop they need to say “Pull up your pants” in a Dads voice.
We are now being lead by a men hating lesbo, Jenny Dirkin and Jay Inslee.
They’d really crap bricks if they used HAL’s voice from 2001. Or for the more boring the voice of Marvin the paranoid android from The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy in his slow monotone voice.
Everything those assholes do is nothing more than an endless stream of distractions to keep US from investigating their never ending cluster of corruption.
I can’t get my wife to shut up when I’m driving, so I can guarantee a female voice on the train would drive me crazy.
They should use Candice Owens voice!
That would really F them up.
Strong, Smart, African American, Conservative & Morally strong and attractive.
A couple of days ago I watched a qigong video wherein the qigong guy was having a laugh about a nutjob in one of his classes. In qigong you are often directed to place your hands on your lower abdomen, the so-called dantian. Men left hand first, women right hand first. A student asked, “I am a man, but I think like a woman, which hand should I place first on my dantian?” It seemed clear Mr Chan thought the guy was a nutjob. Those sexist qigong traditions meet modern crazy trends.
Imagine being such a loser asshole that you give a shit about things like what gender the fucking robot voice has for the perfunctory cattle car message?
All transit voices in the GTA (greater Toronto area,approx 7 million people) are computer generated female voices.
Never heard of a complaint.
They need the robot voice from the Bladerunner Walk/Don’t Walk signals. Which I think was the same voice the Police used to tell the gawkers at the crime scene to “Move On — Move On — Move On…”
I’ve used that “Move On — Move On — Move On…” voice and message to my wife and son so many times she probably wants to kill me.
…if anyone remembers in the ’80s when car manufacturers breifly flirted with the idea that their customers wanted their cars to scold them for not closing the door properly or leaving the keys in the ignition in an annoyed-wife-reminding-you-of-chores voice, the ONLY voice more annoying than THAT was Barry Soetoro’s…
^ Yes, Super, vividly.
Lincoln Continental: “Your door is ajar.”
My boys: “No, it’s a can, you idiot.” (or some other object)
(We were guests in that car.)
Your wife gets into the soap isle… I love my wife… but 30 seconds later it’s, “Move On — Move On — Move On…”
When I’m looking for 2 inch wood screws I dart in, grasp the 2 inch wood screws, and dart out. Maybe 10 seconds.
My wife can stand in a soap isle for #ucking 15 minutes.
Yeah, and while we’re at it why are Cortana, Alexa and Siri all bitches?
…if anyone remembers in the ’80s when car manufacturers
Yes. A friend bought a brand new Cadillac and was going t have it shipped from Texas. I was not working and said I would drive it to Tacoma if he paid for a plane ticket, fuel and motel rooms. The Goddamned thing was a bit low on gas in Nevada and the gas station was about 50 miles ahead and I had plenty of gas to get there. Every ten seconds the damnable thing would say: DING, your fuel is low. DING, your fuel is low. DING, your fuel is low. DING, your fuel is low. DING, your fuel is low. DING, your fuel is low. DING, your fuel is low. DING, your fuel is low. DING, your fuel is low. DING, your fuel is low. DING, your fuel is low. DING, your fuel is low. DING, your fuel is low. DING, your fuel is low. DING, your fuel is low. DING, your fuel is low.
It went on for half an hour and I damn near lost my mind.
