FGS it's the sex not the gender! Good luck though

This.

I sometimes look at these "gender reveal" threads and do wonder at the posters lazy casual use of language. OP, it's not about being "offended" - if you think that's the case, console yourself with the possibility that your son may change his gender in the future and you will have a girl after all.

Good luck with your healthy children.

I’m not offended at all by the word gender but you won’t be finding that out tomorrow but you will probably find out the sex though. I hope you get what you want if you have a preference and that all is ok with you both

Interesting... you instantly picked up on the OP's use of the word 'gender' (which was only used in the title and not the main description, by the way) and casually ignored the fact that she used the word 'exited' instead of 'excited'.

I do firmly believe that some people spend hours browsing MN just for the sole purpose of bringing other women down.

Personally I couldn't give a flying fuck if people use 'gender' rather than 'sex'. We're talking about unborn babies here whose sex is defined but whose gender is not... however, if somebody asked what gender my child is, I would tell them she is female. Because she is. She is two years old and does not have the capacity to decide that for herself.

OP, hope everything goes okay with your scan tomorrow!

@Squiff70 I think there must be some seriously sad people on Mumsnet to care enough to bring this up.

@toxitears181 congratulations on the pregnancy and good luck for tomorrow. So exciting finding out the gender of your baby. 😊

toxitears181 · 08/03/2022 14:00

Thankyou to the lovely people that have congratulated me and not been patronising A holes about me using the word gender i much appreciate it 💕

The world is becoming mental why do people give a fuck weather i put sex or gender my god lay off me 🤣

Because it MATTERS. Whichever sex you give birth to.

You presumably don’t say “leg” when you mean “arm”, or “car” when you mean “bus”. This is no different.

EverydayIsPJday · 08/03/2022 14:08

Congratulations OP I hope the scan goes well. Also, couldn't care less what term you used, I knew what you meant....(as did everyone else but they decided to attack you...🙄)

WouldIBeATwat · 08/03/2022 14:17

If it doesn’t matter try changing your gender marker on your NHS record to make and see if you get invited for smear tests.

toxitears181 · 08/03/2022 14:27

Im actually laughing at how pathetic people are 🤣 i came here to see if others are finding out what there having tomorrow as its nice to show other women support and have a chat!

how sad do you have to be to moan about someone writing gender instead of sex when you knew exactly what i was on about anyway! Absolutely pathetic get a grip

OP posts:
PineappleCakes · 08/03/2022 14:37

So people reply to your post congratulating and wishing you a healthy baby, also pointing out that language is important, highlighting an important issue.

OP responds with insults.

Ok.

Teaforme123 · 08/03/2022 14:38

Oh ffs ppl are so petty and knew what you meant. Even my local ultrasound clinic call it a gender scan. Don't worry OP, how exciting!

Trinacham · 08/03/2022 14:39

@squiff70 exactly. And who cares what word they use, even if it's incorrect. Let people be excited at what is a very exciting time in their life! Obviously not happy in their own life to bother replying just to say 'you're wrong!'

Trinacham · 08/03/2022 14:39

Good luck tomorrow @toxitears181 😀

She could have said people were loosing the plot re sex/gender??
lalafam · 08/03/2022 14:53

Congrats OP!! Hope you have a happy and healthy baby! P.s ignore the weirdos

ROWLE · 08/03/2022 14:55

@inheritancetrack she could of said 😂

RetireReady · 08/03/2022 14:57

It didn't used to matter if you used gender rather than sex as no one was trying to impose multiple genders on binary sex but it does these days and if you have a girl perhaps you will be bothered about her rights as a female.
Really hope all goes well with your scan and pregnancy x
