Honestly there’s no reason why we need gender in our language anymore other than to describe someone’s appearance for the sake of recognition (say if someone goes missing or is wanted for a crime).
Let’s normalize describing people by their attributes and qualities.
“I need help from someone strong here.” That’s really what they needed.
Assigning typical qualities to genders is just stupid.

Offtopic-ish, but a couple of years ago, I couldn’t open a jar, so it said “ugh, I’m going to need a tool for this”. Then my then-boyfriemd walks by, opens it and goes “you’re welcome”. I had to explain why I was laughing so hard.
I still tease my now-husband with that every time I need a hand.

lmao that was a good one
Could be something like hand size as well, since it can be harder to grip large lids.
if you wanna get really specific I guess 😄
