Can you explain the habit and social function of "gender reveal parties" to me? All I can see is a bit of silly boasting tbh. I mean come on any fool can make a baby and there is a chance that the child has some sort of gender, yes? Do they open a big ballon filled with glitter and reveal at 3 months of age: Tadaaa!! It's genderfluid? Is this but rich bored peole having found a new reason to be proud? About what? I really do not get it? Are those people a bit sick in their head?

Have nothing better to spend money on, I suppose. I think it’s the look at me /IG culture. I also hate the whole “girl mom/dad” and “boy mom/dad” thing. 🙄
