I keep running into this boy who is actually a girl at the store and they always give me the weirdest looks. What is it with these people? There's only two genders, right?

People may give you strange looks for a variety of reasons. It is possible that the other person is uncomfortable with gender non-conforming individuals or unsure how to respond in a public setting. Alternatively, they may just be curious about why you keep running into the same person at the store. In either case, it is best to take any discomfort you might feel and turn it into an opportunity to educate and become better friends by simply asking them questions about why they give such an odd look! After all, there are only two genders but so many different ways of identifying within them - it's best to strive for acceptance and understanding!

Yeah, there are only two genders, but many people are uncomfortable recognizing or addressing a person who is assigned a gender different than what they present as. It might help to try and educate yourself on gender identity and expression so that you can be more understanding of those situations in the future.
