"I wish Hitler would hurry up."

For starters, gender-reveal parties don't actually reveal gender—they reveal anatomy. Gender is a wholly different thing, inextricably tied to the social constructs around it. (Fun fact: Blue used to be the color most associated with little girls, due to its association with the Virgin Mary. But Hitler—yes, Hitler—feminized the color pink by forcing gays to wear triangles in that shade during World War II.) A gender reveal conflates the two.
Projecting gender perceptions onto a fetus becomes especially thorny when you take into consideration that, globally, one in every 1000 to 1500 children is born with a visible form of Difference of Sex Development (DSD), which means being neither entirely male nor female, since the chromosomal/genital makeup falls somewhere in between—an enlarged clitoris capable of erections, for instance. (Broader definitions of DSD put this number closer to 1 in 100 children.) Then there are the millions of kids assigned a sex at birth with which they don't align: 150,000 American teenagers identify as transgender. In a ritual that celebrates only a binary way of thinking about identity, we're leaving a cross-section of the population out, adding to a culture of trans and intersex shame. And for what? Confetti poppers?

It’s OK to point out that ‘transgender-ism’ is not normal -
“normal”

noun

the usual, average, or typical state or condition.
They reveal sex. Yes gender is a whole different thing. Gender applies to words, not people. People are divided into sexes, not genders. This nonsense is exactly why the left has pushed the term for the last 20 years. Let 100 genders bloom!
Probably because she can’t get a date, no one wants her and her clock is ticking and she had too many abortions to have children.
Good catch.
I was half expecting Cosmo to tell us to stop revealing babies’ sex so National Socialist Party members wouldn’t come to the parties and kill people.

I'm one of those organic gender people.

What a bunch of drivel Cosmo,
Yellow Stars of David were for Jews.
Triangles came in many colors, and depended on the prisoner.
Red - political
Green - professional criminals
Blue - forced labor (foreigners)
Purple - Jehovah's Witness
Pink - homosexual.
Brown - Roma/Gypsies.
Black - anti-socials
The triangles had a flat top, with the point down.
This is truly one of the rudest, most condescending things I’ve read in a major publication.
How would you like to be this woman’s friend? And you be expecting and read something like this?
I notice there is no comments section.
Why is that?
” gender-reveal parties don’t actually reveal gender—they reveal anatomy. Gender is a wholly different thing, inextricably tied to the social constructs around it.”
This is obviously a load of BS. But unfortunately, it represents the official party line of the “enlightened” class (the PC a-holes) - and you will agree or else!
Who is this twit?
The flick is 35 years old now.
Male sex and female sex is binary. Maleness and femaleness as a gender identity is a continuum. One can be high or low on the continuum. No one needs to be left out.
This seems staged, it was only a week or two ago that I first heard the term “gender reveal party”. I doubt it’s very common.
