"I ran into an old friend this weekend. Hadn't seen her in years. We did the
obligatory "So, what are all your kids up to these days" kind of catch-up.

"And what about your son?" she asked as I finished bullet-pointing children one
and two's accomplishments.

"She's a daughter now."

"Oh, that's nice. You have all girls."

"Yup, she just started grad school."

"Cool, what's her field? Mine just finished a Masters in Chemistry."

I've had a warm glow all weekend.

I don't need you to start flying the rainbow flag. You don't have to offer up
your opinions on Caitlyn Jenner, the bathroom laws of various states or
expressions of surprise, sympathy, or support. Your only obligation is to use
the proper name and pronouns."

Cheers,
