On Oct. 10, Grace will follow up Transgender Dysphoria Blues with True Trans, a 10-part AOL web series about the real lives of transgender people across America.

Grace stopped by BuzzFeed recently for some real talk about the annoying/hurtful questions transgender people deal with every day.

If you want to be smarter about transgender issues, or just a generally better human, here are 10 questions to never ask a transgender person.

1. "Which bathroom do you use?"

2. "So, when is the surgery?

3. "Are you sure you aren't just gay?"

4. "Do you have a penis?"

5. "Can I see pictures of you before you transitioned?"

6. "What's your real name?"

7. "Why don't you try harder to look like a woman/man?"

8. "Are you going to change your voice?"

9. "Am I still straight if I want to fuck you?"

10. "How do you have sex?"
