      People are still throwing “gender reveal” parties for their unborn infants. If you think doctors in the real world aren’t concerned with fitting children into sex-assigned gender norms, you experienced a different medical system from me.

      Is it right that doctors and parents, in general, guess gender based on genitalia? Is it good? I think we agree that it isn’t.

      But it is the case.

        Tbf I suspect society has called them gender reveal parties because sex (reveal) parties can be miscommunicative in an entirely different way.

        “It’s got a dooong” also has a different vibe from “it’s a boooy”.

        Idk, no horse in this race. Those parties are stupid anyways.
