Can I blag a gender scan at 15+3?

[arabella120]

Hi guys! I'm the most impatient woman in the world and I absolutely cannot wait to see my little baby again and find out the gender. I'm booked in for Window to the Womb soon but I'll only be 15+3 and they say 16 weeks onwards.. but surely there's not that much difference?! Anyone had experience with this?

I had a private scan at 15+2 and could clearly see boy

@sh13
Not offended but yes ppl do give a shit about the word 'sex' being replaced by the word 'gender' because the words mean different things and certain groups are misrepresentating The Equality Act because of it.

OTT much

I blagged it at 15+5 - no issue, it's a boy!!!

sh13 don't assume people are offended by things they disagree with. I bet you call people snowflakes aswell.
It's about using the correct language and not being prissy about the word sex, when the word gender means something else.

No I don’t use the term snowflake 😂 it’s like there’s a bunch of you that go around on threads trying to correct people , it’s really sad 🤷🏻‍♀️

I do have to agree with this. I completely understand people wanting to demonstrate the difference if this was a thread specifically around the difference of gender and sex. At the end of the day it’s very clear what the OP is asking and has used the word “gender” twice in the OP and private scans do label them as “gender scans” whether you or I agree with it, or right or wrong, that’s what it’s labelled. It’s more than likely stuck in OPs mind. As it’s been mentioned twice it’s a very minor thing.

I just don’t see the need to police these threads with the gender/sex argument all the time. It’s really not necessary 90% of the time.

Yes, everyone knows what the OP means. But OTOH, words are important and it's becoming essential to women's rights and our future that gender and sex are used correctly.

So policing every single thread on MN which mentions the words “Sex or gender” is mandatory for women’s rights?

Give the OP a break, fair enough it might be relevant on other threads but it’s just not needed here

It's not really policing. I don't spend my time searching them out on purpose, but if I come across it, I can't see the harm in pointing out there is a difference and the difference matters.
