That is good advice. Let's see a change to all the peivacy policies so it is made clearer.
"Anything you enter might be leaked. We might not warn you before we leak your information. We have complex confusing interactions between your accounts on all our services, and we hide the settings pages, but if any information is lealed then LOL that's your fault".
I kind of feel sorry for Google here - it's the 21st centuary and people are still persecuted for their sex or sexual preference. Part of the outrage is misplaced here - why the hell should she feel the need to hide such a fundamental aspect of herself from her colleagues?
But then again, who cares what the reason was? She wasn't trolling or abusive or trying to male the Internet a worse place, so let her use whatever name she wants and stop linking everything together.
There are much better ways of doing unified accounts that the mess that Google has given us.
