I found this quite funny!

My sweet little three year old came in the room as I was watching this (I paused it of course) and she said, "That lady is very pretty." I hope that makes your day because it made me smile.

WOW!!! This video really shows me that my respect for you was totally unfounded. I respected you immensely until I tried to choke down this video. Because other people can be many of those things you mentioned, sure doesn't mean you have to lower yourself too! So sad.

@benbaker108 If you don't get my demand for common decency from the countless hordes of rude strangers who (used to) intRUDE with rude questions, then we were indeed a mismatch, and you're better off finding common ground with someone else.

You are awesome!

@MaxamillianArturo LOL, yeah I heard Sarah Silverman had to fly business class one time from LAX to San Francisco. When will the nightmare end?

@MaxamillianArturo Hmmm don't recall asking your permission butt munch. Moving on...

@itsallbighere except when you are trans it doesn't matter if you are famous or not. I'm a receptionist who is trans and I get these kind of questions sometimes. It all comes down to people thinking they have a right to extremely personal information just because you are transgender.

@brndnrckn Another idiot that completely missed the point of this video. Alas, Miss Addams, some simpletons cannot be saved.

@tightgeist "curious" and "not always well informed" people should use Wiki or Google not ask personal and majorly invasive questions of a perfect stranger.

I think I've seen this video about 20 times. Some the faces you make are so hilarious! And I love the sarcasm lol. All of these questions are offensive and it's a shame people feel they have a right to ask them of trans people. I can understand curiosity, but there are standards of politeness and common decency. Thank you for posting
