Portlaoise woman Hayley Dunne, an Aer Lingus cabin crew member, has Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
A Laois woman with a hormone disorder is asking people to think twice before commenting on someone's appearance.
28 year old Hayley Dunne from Portlaoise, works as a cabin crew member at Aer Lingus, and has Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
The condition causes severe bloating which on one occasion led to her being congratulated on being pregnant.
Ms Dunne is telling her story as radio stations across the country unite for "One Day, Many Voices", celebrating diversity, inclusion and the wide range of voices that make up our communities.
She says people need to be more considerate when talking to strangers:
