A bizarrely endearing moment that probably is going to bring her a lot of new fans. It was just awesome.

Ok. This is actually amazing. I’m not one to necessarily talk about that often (or ever) but Lydia is a cool chick. She’s honest and this is humanizing. I love Lydia. Even if I don’t love period talk

I love her honestly! I'm not surprised he was caught off guard by her answer, but it is kind of sad that we're still "shocked" by women having periods in 2022. Let's normalize this and stop making women feel like they have to be "ashamed" for something completely natural.

Yep, cause an adult talking to another adult about her period is the same as a teacher in front of a bunch of 5 yr olds talking about gender identity and and sexual preference.

She is so freaking awesome, not sure why the reporter was at a lost for words. He asked, she informed.
