To judge gender disappointment?

When that person has a baby gender reveal party?

I’ve seen (from both parents) where after the reveal and everyone is cheering they are stood there miserable, or they’ve started crying and even seen some where they walk off.

The worst one I’ve just seen was twins and it was blue confetti first and the mum just shrugged and everyone looked awkward, second confetti was pink and she’s screaming and jumping with joy. How horrible for that little boy to maybe one day see that video.

I do think gender disappointment is valid and I’m sure most who feel it wish they didn’t. I just don’t get why you’d put yourself in that situation to be the centre of attention when it could turn out pretty bad.

I also judge "gender" reveal parties.

It's your baby's sex and who bloody cares until he or she is born?

Well you can pick whether you fancy being a boy or a girl these days, you dont even have to commit, you can be a boy on monday a girl on tueday... you decide. No need to be disappointed with the sex, see we don't even need to refer to it as sex anymore, I mean what's biology got to do with anything?
