"How old is she?"
"What's her name?"
"She's so cute!"
"She has a lot of hair!"
Why is it that babies with hair are automatically girls and bald babies are boys? Why do I want to punch people who automatically assume Mateo is a girl? I don't really hear anything else except the pronouns.
And his hair is fine, not thick!

We used to get the same thing with Lane. It irritated me to no end, but I always ended up getting some satisfaction out of being able to correct them...
Them: "She's so cute. How old is she?"
Me: "Yeah, he's X months old."
Them: "Oh... with all that hair I just assumed..."
Me: "Uh huh..."
It is very satisfying, and I've never been one for correcting people whom I don't know since I'll probably never see them again.
