WTF is it with these gender reveal parties?

Considering where our culture is, a gender reveal might want to wait until the child makes a proclamation in the teen/pre-teen years.

As a bonus, you get to sort through your friends and figure out who the bigots are.

most excellent post.
 
When i was young i would pull a tranny every couple of months. Pretty sure that was a completely different thing though. Can't see anyone getting butt hurt over removing a transmission. butt alas...

Usually very much the opposite. Most folks who throw gender reveals are very committed to the gender binary.

For what it matters to you, 'Tranny' is a deliberately hurtful and damaging word. Pretty much on the same level as faggot. You should check yourself before using it in the future.

For anyone keeping score, this gender reveal party has already caused more property damage than all of this year's protests combined.
 
The woman who “invented” gender reveals has asked everyone to STOP this crap!

She made a blog (remember those?) post in 2008 about having a cake made which was pink inside, to signify that she was having a girl.

Worth noting: the 47k acre fire in Arizona resulting from one of these cost the parents an 8 million dollar assessment for the damage and fire suppression.

Hope these SoCal idiots get the same.

Enough already!
 
So....

was it a boy or a girl?

like it :thumbup

Covering tens of square miles of fire and burns. Images of thousands of fires as far as the eye can see. All started by a Gender reveal celebration smoke machine. One is left with this question, Boy or Girl?
 
My parents never mentioned they had a baby shower for me or my brother. Definitely no gender reveal party...

Yeah... learned something from this thread. I had never heard of it and I have a bunch of grandkids so not that distanced from todays world.

Glad the friends I know didn't do gender reveal parties. I have seen some gender reveal posts on social media and that's fine. The couple just posting something pink or blue, whether it's a balloon drop, or baby shoes, or whatever.

Got no problem with that.
 
it's not the gender reveal party that caused the fire. It was the pyrotechnics/smoke machines. Ban those.
 
Totally..

Nothing wrong with another reason to party :party

Just don't start a damn fire.
 
that's the only party rule I had when I lived in SF.
Do not start a fire!
 
Between bridal showers, bachelor parties, bachelorette parties, baby showers, gender reveal parties, weddings and such, people love letting us celebrate their marriage and kids forever.
 
I think it is as beautiful as coming out parties! We can celebrate the self/family in oh so many ways.
