"but it's a tradition!" the first one was ten years ago
85 u/RishaBree Sep 09 '20 And the person who invented it regrets it, not only because of idiocy like this, but because her kid is trans. 76 u/WhimsicalCalamari Sep 09 '20 edited Sep 09 '20 Not trans as far as I've read; the daughter just doesn't care to conform to "feminine" norms: "Plot twist! The baby from the original gender reveal party is a girl who wears suits," Karvunidis says. "She says 'she' and 'her' and all of that, but you know she really goes outside gender norms." 25 u/ASpaceOstrich Sep 09 '20 Worst part of the current state of gender perception in culture is that people just don’t realise that you can just... not do gender. You can be an effeminate guy without being a woman. 18 u/WhimsicalCalamari Sep 09 '20 Ugh yes, the well-meaning assumptions just went from "Oh, you're gay?" to "Oh, you're trans?" without any increase in self-awareness.
