I don't know anyone who is ballsy enough to ask that question. Those who know me well enough to ask any questions related to my personal life already talk politics with me, so they know all that stuff anyway. Those who don't, don't ask.

If someone asked me though, I'd probably say, "Why do you ask?" That's my standard response to nosey questions like "When are you having babies?" and "Have you gained/lost weight?" Usually that makes the asker uncomfortable enough to hem and haw and drop the question.

more personal than the relationship I have with the person asking the question.

to just answer such questions with, "Wow, what a rude question! You must be so embarrassed."
