My sister is going to have a baby and me and my boyfriend went to their gender reveal party, and they just pulled a blue sword out of a cake...and nothing got burnt down lol and everyone still found out its going to be a baby boy. See it is possible to have a reasonable gender reveal without starting california or colorado on fire. Just use the sword in cake method lol.

I think sometimes the gender reveal events are just an excuse to have a major party before the baby gets born. There's too much emphases of kids gender & it's posible for the docs to be wrong. The docs told my parents I was going to be a girl & while I def do not conform to the male stereotype, I do have a wang.

How can you have a gender reveal before you've even asked the kid? It's really more of sex reveal at most.

The real Gender Reveal should take place when the child states the gender that they identify with.

I've always found gender reveal parties to be exceedingly dumb. Not only do they not actually reveal a child's gender but they demonstrate society's pointless obsession with gender. No matter what you reveal, either way people will cheer, you'll (hopefully) love the child just as much, so what does it actually accomplish? It shouldn't make any difference what your child's gender or sex is. And if the child ends up being trans they're really going to resent you for making such a big deal of assigning them a gender they don't even want.

Not all gender reveal parties have an explosion. But they are reinforcing gender stereotypes, and what if the baby doesn't want to be the gender they were born as later in life?

It's like those commercials for dolls and stuffed animals I used to see when I was a teenager, where they revealed the toy's gender by having its diaper turn pink or blue and they'd come with an outfit like a baseball uniform if it was a boy or a ballerina dress if it was a girl or something cringy like that.

And what if the baby is born with deformed genitals?

IKR, not that it being a sex reveal is any less stupid.
