For the most part, yes, but with vent around, it can lead to situations where it comes up for the transgendered. You can USUALLY tell whether a voice is biologically male or female (obviously there are exceptions) and this will lead to people calling the transgender by the wrong gender pronouns. This can be offensive to some. How would you like it if everyone you raided with called you "she" consistently (assuming you are a male)? So they correct those with them, and usually this will have to come with an explanation of "I'm transgender" when people inevitably ask why they sound like the other gender.
