I've long advised nosy parkers not to ask a woman, "Are you pregnant?" if she appears to have gained a few pounds. Nor to query a co-worker, "Are you having chemo?" if he's suddenly lost his hair. Yes, it's natural to be curious about whether someone is expecting, ill or transitioning, but my advice is ironclad: Check your curiosity and hold your tongue. And when in doubt, choose to be kind.

Could we like... print these advices on giant posters and stick them up on walls in every town ? And in schools ?

Nice column. This is not new info to the people on Susan's, but it is nice, and new, that it is published in a paper like the Washington Post.

Maybe I should get a t-shirt that says "Ask me about my genitalia"?  *le facepalm*
