Gender reveal parties are now transphobic apparently

Look at that image - what stereotypes is it perpetuating with the very clearly male and female parents?

That only males are of interest - you can barely see the woman's face.

I cringe every time I see a 'gender reveal' thread on here and I know some posters have had posts deleted for pointing out that it's sex, not gender.

Maybe this will be a good thing. If an excited parent-to-be posts on social media and gets hounded by TRAs, it might wake a few more people up.

Babies are female or male though, as we ALL know

The words gender reveal were only introduced to spare the blushes of tbe parents having a sex reveal party. Because obviously a baby reveals that the couple had sex at least once.

Actually I do think gender reveal parties perpetuate stereotypes but I am a bit ‘bah humbug’ about the whole girls/boys separate marketing. I know it is just another example of a someone creating a commercial opportunity before the baby shower which everyone is free to opt in/out of but I do find them a bit meh.

This was sent to me recently....I wonder if this sentiment is also somehow transphobic.

“Gender reveal” parties are horrible sexist/misogynist/anti-feminist rubbish anyway. It starts the whole pink/blue gender role stereotyping bullshit before the child is even born. It is really interesting how often our fights are the same; just that the feminist answer is to reject the stereotypes, and the TRA answer is to choose-your-own stereotype.

to be fair ive always thought these recent gender reveal parties that have been bought in from the US are pretty vulgar and silly. We should be breaking down gender barriers, not highlighting and celebrating them. Its not transphobic to note that you are incubating a male or a female baby though. As usual, its biology.

perhaps your friend could hold a self righteousness reveal party, guests would wait with baited breath about what she is to going preach about next.

Biology is transphobic

Is the angle sex spot method on scan pics now transphobic too then?

Someone has better report a few threads in pregnancy.

most definitely born with a willy and therefore a boy
Oh my that's sooo transphobic my dear, it could well be a lady penis. You shouldn't assume gender like that. 🤷‍♀️

Transgenderism doesn't come from the U.S. I will grudgingly admit to the horror that is the gender reveal party, as I have received a gender reveal card from a distant young relative. Of course its "transphobic" to celebrate the idea that you wouldn't want your child to be on expesive drugs with devastating side effects for their entire lives, and to require mutilating surgeriesl et etcc

My enemy's enemy is my friend.

That’s fine, I’m not ready for a trans, gender free or whatever other ones there are baby.
My gender reveal is that I’m having a boy....no preconceived ideas about who he’ll be, what he’ll be like etc, just that he will be most definitely born with a willy and therefore a boy 😁

Looks like a win-win to me. One appalling American import wipes out another appalling American import.
