I don’t understand the point of gender reveal parties (2 Viewers)

[athenaaa]

Wouldn’t a parent just want to hope for a healthy child, and if they don’t have a healthy child they will take those challenges as they come? Why celebrate (or be disappointed) if your child is born as one gender or another? And what if the child was born in the wrong body?​

 

[Yelena_Belova]

I don't either. I plan on never having one either. It's a waste of money on top of what you already said. Just have a regular baby shower for crying out loud. The only real purpose those reveal parties have is starting forest fires apparently.

Wait forest fires??

 

[Horizonshard]

Yeah, I see it as the next evolution of the baby shower.

Basically a little party to prep people for what gender the baby will be born as.

Basically it's the party version of "this meeting could have been an email"

2020 was a wild year.

there was a study done and turns out pregnant women treat their pregnancy with more care before finding out the gender of the baby and then depending on the gender, the mother will be less careful

 

[Ahsoka]

I don’t think people who have gender reveal parties believe trans people are valid, otherwise they wouldn’t have a party to begin with

 

[Willow]

I don’t see the point of that either.

 

[noctis]

Yeah gender reveal parties are stupid. I hate seeing one of the parents disappointed in the gender they didn't want. Why not just be happy the baby is there

 

[ani07]

isnt this an american thing that somehow swapped over to other countries as well?
its because americans have such a huge need for recognition and everything needs to be HUGE.
its sth I never understood. its a waste of money, a waste of time and also bad for the environment as there is a lot of trash.

Every person should have the right to chose his/her gender at a certain age. Parents, please stop thinking that a specific gender is 'willed by god'.

I hate humanity more every passing day.

100% this. Sad but true. At least they advertise their transphobia instead of hiding it, so you don't have to speculate if you should avoid them or not.

Exactly! I have the belief that you should never give birth to any child unless you have zero preference at all for which gender you'd like the child to be. If it's that big of a deal, just adopt and request a specific gender, otherwise, suck it up and deal with it. In the grand scheme of things, I don't think someone's gender should dictate how much you love them or how well you treat them. It's something that can't be controlled, and is just blatant discrimination at a certain point.

Yes. Just let people express their gender and be who they are. It's not hard.
