      Yeah, if either parent has a strong preference for one sex over another, finding out the sex in front of a bunch of guests at a party that's being filmed for posterity and going on the Internet is the absolute LAST thing you should be doing. Mostly because the kid is probably going to see it someday.

      The best gender reveals I've seen are ones where the parents understand gender is a social construct and celebrating fetus genitals is weird, but they want an excuse to party and want to appease their relatives, so they throw the gender reveal, but the colour stuff comes out not blue or pink, and the reveal is "it's a healthy baby and we will love it no matter what."

    It's insane what gender reveals became considering where it started. IE: the woman who made them popular had had miscarriages before and was just happy that this pregnancy had gotten to the point where you could find out the biological sex, considering the pregnancies had never gotten to that part before. She had a party with close family/friends and made her own cake (that was like a duck or bunny?).

      My first thought was they combined it with a baby shower. Revealing the gender with things the parents actually need for the baby like clothes makes WAY more sense than wasting money (and damaging the environment) with balloons/smoke/dyes/fires/etc. That cupboard is actually useful!
      Once they get it out of the field, of course. I guess it's simply unrealistic to expect anyone throwing a gender reveal party to make sense 100% of the time, the silly sausages (or silly NOT sausages - wait for the bbq to explode to find out which!) 😂

      Agree, if you want to do a reveal, a colored cake or wardrobe full of baby supplies is pretty harmless.
      People are excited about their babies. Could they be excited about something other than gender? Sure. But if it doesn't hurt anyone, I'm not hating.

    I did recently see a very sweet and wholesome gender reveal 'fail'. Mum knew and was revealing to dad with a homemade cake but the cake didn't work cos it turned out green, mum being very hormonal starts crying cos it didn't work so dad comforted her and suggested an alternative. The cake was decorated with fresh blueberries and strawberries so he suggested she feed him one while he had his eyes closed and that would reveal it for him.
    She fed him a blueberry and they were both very excited and very happy. ❤ It was a really sweet little video.

    I mean, there are lots of fundamental issues with gender reveals, but the one that bothers me the most is that the first gender reveal was for a trans kid, and then it got coopted into a glorified cisnormative baby shower based on an incorrect understanding of how gender works

    If you handed me a paint sprayer, I'd definitely keep spraying until it either runs out of paint or someone takes it away from me. Because I'm socially awkward and spraying paint is way more fun than having to interact with the whole extended family and whoever else showed up. Then again, I wouldn't have a gender reveal in the first place. Sure, there'd be some kind of baby announcement, but it's not like amab and afab babies have hugely different needs during their first year, so people would get to know once the baby is there and we tell them its name.

    (12:20) There as a gender reveal "fail" where they did cut the cake. But the colour got stuck on the knife so it was revealed before the first slice was cut. I think it was even revealed before the first cut was complete. Using a glass avoids that. But it's still messy as you say.

    The worst thing about that car one is the person recording the video being in the middle of the road with cars coming right at them in order to get that shot...
    I think gender reveal parties put a lot of pressure on the unborn child, that so much is being made of this aspect of them before they fully exist in the world. My parents didn't do any party like this when my mom carried me, but I grew up on stories about how my being born made my mom a mom, my grandma a grandma, and my sister a big sister (instead of being "the only girl"); basically emphasizing my relationship with the female relatives in my family. I took that story to heart, as it felt like my own personal "lore", and I think growing up with that made accepting how I feel about my gender more difficult. That is, I actually think my family would be generally accepting of it, but the innocent stories I was told as a child contributed to feelings of pressure to conform to my assigned gender that I imposed upon myself. I can only imagine how much more difficult it would be for a trans person whose parents spent thousands of dollars to reveal their gender to the world to come out to them later on.
    Also, I live out in CA where I'm pretty sure one of the big fires from a few years ago started because of a gender reveal party using fireworks, so for the fire hazards alone, I think the fireworks are completely unnecessarily dangerous and risky. Imagine being the child whose gender reveal party burned down someone's home...

    Our “gender reveal” was me putting text on a cute photo of our dog that said “I’m getting a brother” that we sent to our families after the doctor called with our genetic testing results (everything is good!) and also what will be the assigned gender until they’re old enough to tell us if it’s any different. Family did want to know just because it was exciting for them and also for buying things, and we wanted to know to help us with names (it didn’t, we still don’t have a name haha).

    I once had a cute gender reveal. The only reason it was happening was because of demon MIL, Mom didnt even want it. So she set her friend on it, who is the best person i know now. It looked like a classic reveal, but then parents, MIL and moms parents got called to the 'stage' they got blindfolded for the surprise, and shit went down. People started to take all the blue/pink balloons away, and put green and brown (parents favourite colours) balloons in their place. The "Its a..." Banner got replaced with a different one, it looked like a musicals set change. When it was all done the blindfolds came of, and they got to read "ITS A HEALTHY BABY!". Parents started crying and hugging with happiness, we were all laughing, MIL was pissed. Turns out parents had fertility issues, and the reminder that kid was okay made them emotional, which was the reason mom didnt want the reveal. Kid is now happily non-binary and indeed still very healthy

    @vcandrewsfan12 4 месяца назад +1

    If the parents would like to find out the gender of their child before it is born, go for it. If the extended family wants to find out but not the parents, the extended family can politely be told to kick rocks. I am not a fan of gender reveal parties because not only can they be expensive, hazardous to the environment and can be a pathetic gift grab for the parents. What ever happened to having a family dinner and announcing it at the dinner table or simply having a cake that reveals the gender at said dinner. Nice respectful generally inexpensive to find out if the child that will be born in a few months. Personally I would prefer a surprise when the child exits the womb instead of knowing before, especially if one party will be disappointed if you have one gender but not the other.

This can be sweet as a surprise your going to be grandparents kind of moment. Over the years, they have definitely gotten over the top to the point of being dangerous and/or environmentally unfriendly in many cases.
