बहुत से लोग सोचते हैं कि "अच्छे शिष्टाचार" का मतलब दूसरों के सामने खुद को झुका देना है। यह सच नहीं है। इस समीकरण में सम्मान और उससे भी महत्वपूर्ण, आत्म-सम्मान दो मुख्य तत्व हैं।

To parents who find a child's disclosure about sexual or gender identity challenging, I always urge what I'd call "moderated" honesty. If you can't say "I love you," then say something like, "I'm going to need some time to digest this news." Buy time this way. And then think.

मेरे दृष्टिकोण से, जब मेरी इस तरह आलोचना की जाती है कि मैं कही जा रही बात—यानी मुद्दों—को सुन सकूँ, तो मैं सुनने और जवाब देने के लिए ज़्यादा तैयार रहता हूँ। मुझे मिलने वाले बहुत सारे व्यक्तिगत ई-मेल में केवल गालियाँ होती हैं; मैं वापस लिखकर कहता हूँ: मुझसे ऐसे बात करो जैसे एक इंसान दूसरे इंसान से बात करता है और मुझे बताओ कि तुम मुझसे कहाँ असहमत हो। मैं बता नहीं सकता कि इससे लोगों का नज़रिया कैसे बदल जाता है। ज़्यादातर मौकों पर वे माफी और एक तर्कसंगत जवाब के साथ वापस मेल करते हैं।

I can't tell you how that turns people upside down. More often than not they write back with an apology and a reasoned argument.
