A period and fertility tracking app is being criticized for saying their product is for "anyone with a period," including biological men who identify as women.

Alma criticized a tweet from the company referring to sperm as a "male reproductive cell."
"By their logic they shouldn't be calling sperm the ‘male reproductive cell,’ they should be calling it the ‘reproductive cell present in most prostate owners," Alma tweeted.
