    Because boys can have periods. You understand that biological sex and gender are not the same thing, right?

      Not need to be attack-y, they quite legitimately might not have had that on the top of mind when they asked.
      They weren’t judgemental or aggressive, they just said they didn’t know.

      It’s okay to not know something and ask.

      If it wasn’t your intent to come across as judgemental or aggressive, then a tone indicator might serve you well next time. :)

        I disagree that it’s okay to not know that. It’s like not knowing that some black people don’t like fried chicken.

        This is 2024. I don’t think there is any excuse at this point to not understand the difference between sex and gender.
