[Blindtlk] Comparing pros and cons of screen readers?

[Carly Mihalakis]

Hi, Peter,

Perhaps try not subscribing to the labels with this society has 
ascribed you. Like, you don't need tl embody the downtrodden, 
oppressed spirit of someone who happens to be dubbed LGBTQQ Anymore 
than you need to play into their constant attempt to pigeonhole your 
blindness, or your status within the Federation. Just be yourself, 
and don't trip if they come up with some arbitrary label describing 
whom you choose to love. Piss on 'em!
