Siri gets a new voice in iOS 15.4 beta
The new voice was recorded by a member of the LGBTQ+ community.
Axios notes that the new voice sounds more gender-neutral than earlier Siri
voices. Apple confirmed to the publication that it was recorded by a member
of the LGBTQ+ community, though the company didn't offer any further details
on the voice actor's identity.
Last year's voices were recorded by Black actors as part of the company's
"long-standing commitment to diversity and inclusion," Apple said at the
time.

comprehending the difference between race and "sexual orientation".
Even still, what does racism have to do with the alphabet community
taking over everything? I'm stick of the politically correct BS being
implemented to protect snow flakes from being "offended". "Siri" has a
female sounding voice. GET OVER IT.

a man or a woman. You are born that way. You can try to change it all
you want, but at the end of the day, you are still what you are born as,
no matter how much you try to change it. You can't change your internal
biology, body type, etc.

picture. The vast majority of "trans" people wish they were born as the
other gender. Some kind of identity issue or something. Apparently,
"Lewis" falls into that category, and is now "highly offended". Oh well.
