As a trans person, I can with 100% confidence say that gender reveal parties are transphobic rhetoric, whether ignorant or malicious. Also they are entirely a white people thing

Lol if you think you can dig up more than a handful of those extravagant gender reveals that isn't white. It's hardly racist- more of an observation.

I’m imagining a scene of a couple who thinks gender reveal parties are stupid, but then looking at the economic realities of raising a child in our hell country and resolving to have one anyway as an opportunity to bilk more presents from their family and friends.

Was just joking. Like the very first time I read about a gender reveal party has been on this thread. I should be surprised that they even exist but we're talking about 'murrica.

Protip: if you want a bunch of giftcards at your/your wife's shower don't announce what the baby's going to be. Many people would much rather fork over the cash than risk buying anything in the "wrong" color, or god forbid, buy something in a neutral color.

Nosy friends, acquaintances, and strangers get so annoyed when they know someone is pregnant but the parents have chosen not to find out what the baby's sex is.

The archmage of unexpected stinks.

As a parent who doesn't do any gender signifier stuff with a two year old the thing I'm the most tired of is the awkward apologies after they ask what his name is and I say her name is Sage. It's not like I'm challenging them, but what am I supposed to do, preemptively apologize for not festooning her with hair bows?

Or when the parents find out but choose not to tell anyone.

"Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Statistically, yes."

Hell, people do that with one of our shop dogs. They'll walk over and go "Oh you're such a good girl!!! What's her name?"

And I'll say, admittedly without thinking about it "oh his name is turbo"

And they get all apologetic. Like, it's a dog. And he's kind of an rear end in a top hat. He doesn't care about you as long as you pay attention to him.

YOU ARE THE DUMBEST MEATHEAD IDIOT ON THE PLANET, STOP FUCKING POSTING



if you dipshits spend any kind of time consuming media that isn't bias-confirming twitter you'd have the ability to see that gender reveal parties are held by all types of people all over the world

here you #genderreveal on IG

the memes are loving hilarious, and pointlessly gendering stuff (including the color with which to adorn your unborn child) is dumb, but it's so loving intellectually lazy to accuse anyone and everyone who ever thought it might be a fun idea as a white supremacist trans hating chud

Equating genitalia with gender identity reinforces the idea that gender must always follow sex. In that way, it is anti-trans. It also reinforces rigid gender expectations, which is generally bad. Neither is usually intentional, but that doesn't make it less real.

My husband shone his tanker truck headlights at my belly so we could candle my womb like a duck egg. That didn't work so I just decided to batch-evacuate the mass of cells into an old fondue pot at like five weeks so I wouldn't be too overbearing. It eventually congealed and grew into a kitten with an InstantPot UI and diabetes but thank god I didn't take steal any joy from the experience like a greedy piece of selfish filth

The funniest part of the gender reveal armageddon is that these people have done more property damage than all crime combined.

They have done 12 digit, in the hundreds of billions of dollars damage.

They have done so much damage that lawsuits and criminal charges aren't even feasible. How do you sue someone earning $80k for $100B? How do you charge someone with doing property damage to a time zone?

Unthinkable levels of crime here.
