the person who invented the gender reveals has later spoken out about how she doesn’t agree with it anymore. When she held her gender reveal it was because she had suffered several miscarriages, so the gender reveal was only to celebrate that she had a living baby, but it’d be weird to have an “my baby is alive” party. Her child has later come out as non-binary and she supports them a lot, and now she speaks out against gender being central. just a little backstory

@LouLa-Rae Barnard 1) I know that women go through menopause. I'm not stupid. I know about female biology. 2)some women do not have periods because they are trans. This can't be disputed because its a fact. The existence of trans women is NOT misogynistic.

[@allanagiles9470]

@LouLa-Rae Barnard unless they are extremely ignorant or a child, I think everyone knows that females go through menopause. I don't see that this is the main issue of this conversation. I know that trans women are not biological women. I know that they do not menstrate. This does not mean that they aren't women. Once again, the existence of trans women is not misogynistic. That deserve to be able to live how they choose, just as you or I can. There have been plenty of studies into the trans brain, and clearly show that trans people do, indeed, exists. You are the one with ideologies, not me or the trans community. As for calling me a "narcissist ass," if this comes down to insults, I can be a lot more imaginative. Lets keep this to a civil discussion (despite the fact your ideologys are extremely harmful) and not get petty.

Not sure if anyone mentioned it (but mostly don’t wanna forget), but the origin of gender reveal parties is that the woman who came up with them had had several miscarriages all before the sex could be determined. so when she had a pregnancy that was viable (I think that’s the right word?), she threw a little party to celebrate.

Baseball, gardening, the Beatles, the color green, I think food was like popcorn, chicken wings & they had a mashed potato bar- where everyone could add their own toppings. It was a super fun party.

[@EricaGamet]

But those products are used for more than just periods (think everyday pantyliners and post pregnancy, postmenopausal, etc.)... so maybe something that includes all that? But then you basically have to call out the body part(s) that creates those issues and that's not going to help ANYONE feel good. I'm thinking period products might just be a semi-happy medium?

[@samthelion3925]

Because society is too disgusted by the idea of periods so they try to "pretty" them up with different words or slapping some flower patterns on the side of the boxes that contain them. But no, periods are just stuff people have. It's like, yeah, someone elses saliva isn't something I'd want to WILLINGLY put into my mouth, but I recognise that people do in fact have it and therefore I can say the word "Salivating" without gagging. Society is just too grossed out by what a vagina does.

[@juliz2500]

I think "sanitary product" is completely fine. To me, that name doesn't imply that periods are gross or shameful, just that you don't want bloodstains everywhere. Also, the word "sanitary product" doesn't exclude a gender or one of the various reasons for using these products.

Agreed. I also think it's a bit weird to holda party for that sort of occasion, but that might have something to do with the fact that (at least as far as I know) gender reveal parties aren't really a thing in my country.

As a trans person the whole “let’s reveal our unborn child’s genitals” is so crazy and wtf. I think a more wholesome thing to do instead of “gender” reveal is a baby reveal. Like imagine a party centered around the parent/s seeing the ultrasound of their baby for the first time and sharing that moment with all their loved ones? Like that would be so much more fun!

[@adrianaandrade6304]

That's not what I meant. I meant that parent/s pop balloons and it reveals the ultrasound photo. In my country baby showers are only after the baby is born and never (or rarely) before.

[@Sleepingwei]

I hate that people say a gender reveal is to reveal what genitals they have. Gender makes up literally every part of our lives and our identities. If gender didn't contribute to our core identity then trans people wouldn't even exist. Finding out what sex your child is, is literally the first part of their identity that we learn. It doesn't go on to say that the child can't be trans, but gender reveals aren't transphobic or simply about genitalia. A persons gender is so much more than genitalia, which as a trans person I'm sure you would agree with. If our society wasn't gendered, then yeah gender reveals are pointless, but we don't. Our society is gendered, and the fact is that the majority of people are cis gender with true trans people being the minority. Knowing the sex of a persons child means you know what pronouns to call them. Also, the first ultrasound celebration wouldn't be helpful as you're still likely to miscarry at that point and once the sex is visible, you're less likely to miscarry.

I don't mind the flowers on the website or on the packaging because flowers can be associated with any gender. I mean flowers shouldn't immediately scream female. But that they mention Women within the first sentence on the website is definitely questionable...
