Openness is really important to me, so I make sure to disclose the history of my body before I have an intimate interaction with someone. What I mean by that is that every time I have a conversation with someone for the first time, I open my mouth real wide so they can see I don't have a uvula. I would never want to force somebody into a conversation without their consent, and how can you give informed consent to a conversation with somebody unless you know that they can't pronounce a uvular trill, or God forbid, a uvular fricative?
