Could vocal patterns or tone could be quantifiable? My husband and I (M/M) worked together and (we communicated over a microphone/speaker) people regularly had trouble distinguishing our voices from each other. But I could also see our cadence and such influenceing each other, rather than just being similar in the first place.

There were nearly 200k child bridge married between 2000 and 2014.

In that same time there was not a singular case of a person under 18 being given gender affiriming surgery in the United States.

Why do I have the feeling you're more okay with a child "consenting" to marriage than puberty blockers

I'm very curious about the cases of smarthome "hacking" we see in the wild today. From what I've read, most cases of someone evesdropping or broadcasting obscene messages is actually a case of someone getting access to an existing account, and not, for instance, creating a tool which relies on a exploit in the device. Obviously it's still hacking, but do you think things like smart speakers and thermostats are likely targets for hackers? Are there potential exploits or possible use cases for these kinds of devices that you're worried about?
