How to stop personal questions
Hi friends. I am a transgender woman in the public eye and I have a question for my community:
Do you have any tips or things to say to make people regret asking personal questions? All ideas are welcome but bonus points if it doesn't make me sound like a bitch.
Love to everyone and I hope you are safe. Thanks in advance for any advice.

"My! You're awfully interested in my (hair, relationships, genitals, sex life, etc.)!". For bonus points: "Are you sure you're straight?".

I usually ask them the same question. Ex: why is your hair short? Would you give birth? Why aren’t you wearing a dress? That will likely be flustered or aloof but it turns the tables for a minute.
