Economic limitations can prevent even technologist like me from accessing better technology to address my voice input needs. I have to rely on what I have but what I have is a nightmare for me. Where is interoperability? Where is affordability? This is the digital divide.

The problem is mostly smartphones Google Voice is what I'm using currently. Much better results from AI, operating systems and apps. I have really bad technology currently. Economic limitations should not cause accessibility failure. The digital divide is not over there somewhere
Will a voice input methodology that doesn't change every word I speak then force me to use my hands which hurt to manually correct mistakes? I'm using the voice input because my hands hurt. Why is this so hard to implement? This is adaptive Tech and we need it why is it so hard?

Fear of other. Us versus them. Morality and belief systems that operate on nothing factual and everything imagined. Pure mythology. It's a form of passive genocide. And therein lies the rub because passive genocide sets a precedent for actual genocide. It's historically a pattern

Looking at the top five titles of books that some people find a pensive there's evidence of oppression of transgender people. This is evident by laws being passed in many States including Arizona which are limiting or eliminating trans rights. Abortion too. Devolution much!?

Good. That happened with Maus. Sales shot through the roof. Now we see everything is about gender identity that's being banned. Arizona is committing awful by placing restrictions on trans rights and abortion. What are we trying to do unravel whatever progress we may have made?

I know! Do you know the history of the DSM and its categorizations of anything other than male-female couples as being a mental illness. If anything is sick that attitude is
Maybe the better word would be autonomy. I have trouble with the word Authority because Authority is often taken or if it's given it's given by other people who took it.

I too identify female. And I pursued science ultimately despite it being mostly women that were telling me it was inappropriate to do so. I'm smacking my head at our Idiocracy.
I like that haha. Another problem related to procreation is that in current times more intelligent people are the ones not procreating. Who knows how that will play out.

So many. There's another problem too and that's that we have created a society where men who are raped have you stigma if they come forward and that is a very tragic result of how culture views sex. I don't believe in Morality. Ethics yes but morality is contextual judgement.

Or nonsense like sending an 8 year olds that would be me to the school psychologist because I was interested in science and they had to intervene because I probably would turn out gay. I don't look at gender and I don't identify myself as any gender identity. It seems unnecessary

Moreover not every person wants to have children. I think overpopulation has led to people choosing not to procreate. Me and my brothers made a pact. It ends with us. And so it will.

And I think on the flip side female sexuality is not acknowledged enough. Not to mention alternative Lifestyles and gender identity. I identify far more with social issues pertaining to gender identity and different expressions and advocacy against abuse and rape.

There are so many people with abuse in their past that become hateful or shut down that never happens to me I feel fortunate but perhaps it's my personality which is resilient. Once I had my own authority that made a difference.

In my experience that's true. There have been definite times where sex drive has then stronger than others. And it's biased. I was raped as a minor multiple times I had gynecological problems. I had a lot of fun. I see it as entertainment. But not a defining aspect of life.

We have created a real problem by constantly talking about what's hot and what's not. It has resulted in very damaging Behavior across gender and gender identity. I hope this clarifies a bit. It rises to obsessional in the media and in our value systems in this culture and others

And let's not kid ourselves age has very little to do with sex as does menopause. Senior citizens have a rising rate of STDs. Sex occurs in nursing homes late-in-life all the time. It just depends on the individual. Point was more the constant focus on sex throughout life.
