Jeez. There's a time and a place to educate and enlighten people re sex/gender. A happy pregnancy thread isn't it.
Ignore them OP.
I have no idea if you're having a boy or a girl but congratulations Thanks

Thank you @rainbowstardrops I really appreciate it Xx

There's a time and a place to educate and enlighten people re sex/gender.

And that's EVERY SINGLE TIME the two are confused.

Just going to add my voice to this thread to say
If we could all start saying sex when we mean sex, and gender when we mean gender, it will help us all in the long run, might even mean organisations start getting forms right.

Congratulations OP

SistemaAddict · 12/08/2020 09:51

Congratulations OP. My guess on the gender is 3 spirit.

BabyG123 · 12/08/2020 20:29

Gonna really piss some people off here but 20 week scan is called a gender scan......

MikeUniformMike · 12/08/2020 20:36

She identifies as female, OP. I can tell.

MikeUniformMike · 12/08/2020 20:37

Oops, I meant they identify as female.

BabyG123 · 12/08/2020 20:37

🤣

MikeUniformMike · 12/08/2020 20:38

@BabyG123, my local supermarket has a great big sign saying "10 items or less". It doesn't mean it's correct.

difficulttod · 12/08/2020 20:44

@BabyG123 that could be a screenshot of literally anything. You could have made it yourself on Word.

It's not gender, it's sex. And surely it's the perfect time to correct it, on a thread talking about the OP having a baby which may be a girl and grow up to experience being totally stamped upon.

charlaz · 12/08/2020 20:46

We had a "gender scan" at 16 weeks OP! Can't believe people are trying to correct you on such a happy post. Congratulations!! My guess is girl Grin

Mammaaof · 12/08/2020 20:46

Girl! X

BabyG123 · 12/08/2020 20:59

@difficulttod no shit- I'm hardly going to put the private scan places name on here when you guys scrutinise randoms!

Here have some website of gender reveal ideas and gender scans.

You can't pick on this poor woman's words when it's what it's called!

Start a protest or something elsewhere

BabyG123 the title of the op is 'can you tell gender from these pics'. The answer is no, because gender is a social construct. Can we GUESS the sex of the baby, yes.

The op is 13 weeks. So this scan is likely to have been her dating scan. Guess what? Hospitals don't call it a 'gender scan'.

iamtheoneandonlyyy · 13/08/2020 05:22

No, but all private scan companies do.
Feminists putting downers on pregnant women's lighthearted posts. So helpful

HopelessSemantics · 13/08/2020 05:32

I think it's a girl.

And even as a rampant feminist, I find the "I think you mean sex" replies utterly tedious. Are you lot like this in real life and do you have friends if so?

Apt username.

Because I, too, am a feminist, but I think it's pretty important that we recognise the hideously politicised issue of 'gender' versus 'sex'.

As has been demonstrated, there are quite a few women who have no idea how much that distinction matters.

Hopefully your girls never find themselves at 15 unknowingly sharing a guide camp tent with a boy; or as an adult in a women's refuge with a man. Let alone a prison cell.

But currently we are sleepwalking into that because we get all huffy when we are reminded of the vital difference between gender and sex.

HopelessSemantics · 13/08/2020 06:07

@Miljea as important as those issues are to me, I don't feel the need to jump all over everyone every time they make a small mistake.

Do you think the OP referring to it as sex would really change anything? Really?

Taking little pops at other women for their usernames or word choice. What feminism.

Go out and do some actual activitism and stop wasting everyone's time with your nonsense.

TheAquaticDuchess · 13/08/2020 06:12

As if the OP wants a lecture on the difference between sex and gender. Everyone arguing about this is as bad as each other. It’s obvious what the OP meant, and her thread isn’t the place for a debate on a hugely divisive subject!

OP I would guess girl from your scan!

Hyperfish101 · 13/08/2020 06:16

Congratulations OP. I have no idea though!

I do wonder why people persist in calling it a gender scan but this thread is t the place to discuss.

I would put money on the fact that it hadn't occurred to the OP that there is a widening gulf of difference between sex and gender, and that her potentially girl child will find herself on the wrong side of that gulf if we do not challenge 'mistakes' like this.

Hope I haven't wasted too much of your valuable time reminding you of this.

SorryAuntLydia · 13/08/2020 09:47

@BabyG123

I can't believe this poor lady has tried to put a nice post up about her baby and some idiots try and correct her.

What losers.

OP I think girls too by the skull

OMG did you just assume the OP’s gender? How do you know they is a ‘lady’? They is a pregnant person.

Congratulations anyway OP. Sorry no gender guess but hope they is healthy and happy however they identify.

1990fran · 13/08/2020 09:53

@miljea You get what I meant in my initial post I worded it wrong, I have since been corrected, quite a few times. I dont appreciate the way some people are differing the conversation from what my initial question was, was meant to be a lighthearted happy post
