Demi Lovato has spoken out against the rising trend of gender reveal parties, branding the celebratory gatherings 'transphobic'.
A nine-page Instagram post, shared by the 28-year-old singer this week, expressed staunch opposition to the soirées – where expectant parents announce the gender of their baby through any variety of items being unveiled in pink or blue.
The lengthy post, which was originally shared online by a trans activist, went on to assert that basing a baby's gender on their genitalia is 'inconsistent with science'.
The Albuquerque-born star's repost went on to state that gender reveal parties lead to the idea that trans people are less 'natural/organic' than everybody else.
'Transphobia is not just about prejudice against individual trans people, it’s also a way of thinking that understands non-trans people as more natural/organic and erases everyone else,' the post continued.
'These ideas, like the gender binary, fuel mistreatment of all people, but especially trans and gender non-conforming people.'
'Gender reveals are based on the illusion that genitals = gender and that there are only two options "boy or girl",' the post continued.
'This definition erases the fact that there are boys with vaginas and girls with penises and that there are people who are neither boys nor girls. The idea that sex is based on genitalia is inconsistent with science.'
The post went on: 'Gender reveals require not just the invalidation of transness, but the impossibility of transness. The assumption is that the baby is cis. Cisness is positioned as the default and everyone else is understood as derivative of it.
'The idea goes: while we might "identify" as trans now, we were "originally" "born" cis and we later "became" trans. When in truth, everyone is just born. And we all become after the fact.

oh
Who is the moron who came up with this stupid “gender reveal” crap anyway? Most retarded idea for a party ever created. “Gender reveal” der duh der duh duh. “It’s a boy! Wooo!” “It’s a girl! Woooo!” WHO CARES?? WHO THE HELL CARES?? I mean what is this, Mafia stuff? “May the child be a masculine child”
Demi Who?
DANG!
Gender reveal parties are idiotic. People who use the term “transphobic” are idiotic.
Well said.
I never heard a single note of her “singing” but I have heard all about her drug overdoses and suicide attempts. She’s often in the news about that.
Really, why in the world is she now considered an authority on gender and related matters?
Party places, caterers and bars came up with this idea
Just like Mother’s Day was created by the card and flower company
And Valentine’s day
Commercialized Christmas was created by retail merchants
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Who the hell cares?
My son’s friends just gave birth to a boy. I went on the local florists website to send flowers and a balloon. I imagined an, “It’s a boy” balloon, but all they sold was one that says, “welcome baby”.
No such thing as transgender. Only crazy.
Clown world.
Somehow this idiot has a net worth of an estimated $40 million.
Who?
No one would dare assign intelligence to Demi Lovato.
Derp State celebutard. Sell your soul, get limitless fame and fortune.
