They’ll find out the anatomy part by themselves over time.

The huge number of fully grown wilfully ignorant bigots who don't have the first clue about how biology works (not only that sex and gender are a spectrum, but stuff like how periods and pregnancy work), and are happy to hate others based on the lies they've been taught, begs to differ.

You didn't need to understand how sex and gender work to find out where the babies come out. I don't expect them to get a PhD in biology, but they'll figure out the basics.

E: I guess "as well as the number of unexpected pregnancies" wasn't obvious, nor was "consent", so there you go 🙄

Yeah, that's the figure out part. I didn't say it'll be a pleasurable experience. And you did forget STDs, so here you go 🙄
