A "female" character acts out in a way that no one would look at twice, were he still male, and you make a stupid comment about "first period". I find it insensitive, and it's not about offending a "fictional character"... you make me worry that I'm not writing Jason well, and that other people will have the reaction you do.
And your argument re: menstrual cycles doesn't fly. The female body Jason's got now is brand new, hasn't had a chance to ovulate. Even if the process started RIGHT WHEN he switched genders, that's still 28-ish days before girl!Jason's menarche. (Also, it's fucking magic and it's my story so there.)
*sigh* At least you like the story. Although part of me thinks you just like yanking my chain over this, too.
