Milly turned the comments off on her Instagram post, but when her story was covered in the media, the conversation spilled over to Twitter where people debated the merits of her message. There was a great deal of confusion from people who didn't understand that not only female gender-associating women get their period while others felt that the discussion of inclusivity had gone too far. Regardless, Milly stuck to her message.
"[I]t’s not insulting to women, it’s not discrediting women, it’s opening up the community to make it a safe space for those who don’t identify as women but still have periods."
