All right, time for fan mail Friday is where I'll be answering some of your questions and dropping some knowledge and feedback to help you kick the weekend off right?

If you're new to the Art of Charm podcast, this is not a great place to start. Most of our content is much more in depth and longer format.

So check out the best of at the Art of Charm.com slash best or the fundamentals toolbox at the Art of Charm.com slash toolbox.

That's where we've got the fundamentals of body language and nonverbal communication, attraction, negotiation, networking, etc.

And everything else we teach here at the Art of Charm. All right, let's cut to it.

This question comes from an anonymous guy who signed it only as private and I thought it was a little bit ridiculous.

So here we go. He said, I'm a little shocked you would interview a transgender. He's referring to Chris Edwards,

we had on earlier this week. I love them like anyone else. However, the gay transgender community is only about 1 to 2% of our entire population.

I just had to send this to you because I love your podcast and what you're doing. You've always kept things very respectful and seem to have a very high integrity, which I love.

I'll give it to you that you treated the transgender with equal respect as I would have to. Why do I not believe that?

I just don't know how a man coming to use school would respond if they got there and were in class all week with a transgender.

I guess it would be a learning experience for all. Just thought I would send you my two cents for what it's worth not to put you down.

I just wanted to say this is one show where I learned nothing and really did not enjoy it at all.

Well, dear anonymous coward. Thanks for being a fan of the show. I take most feedback seriously.

Now that said, 1 to 2% of the population is a huge number of people not to mention you come into contact with people who aren't like you gay lesbian LGBT.

All the time, whether you know it or not, it doesn't mean they're separate from you. In fact, think about this because you don't seem like a bad person just a little ignorant.

If you replace everything that you said, replace the word transgender in your above email with African American or Asian or Latino.

And you'll see how ridiculous you sound right now. Most people loved that episode and it sounds like this is a lot more your insecurity talking than anything else.

Further, just because someone is on the show doesn't mean they're going to be bunking with you at the next boot camp.

If you quote unquote love them like anyone else, but you wouldn't be comfortable with them in a workshop setting, that has a lot more to do with you than it does about anybody else.

And you should probably have a look at that. Chris Edwards frankly has more balls for coming on the show to discuss intimate details of his life.

Then you and I put together so you should respect that. It's a what do you think?
