Knoxville, Iowa An Iowa woman has died after an explosion at a gender reveal party created debris that hit her. The Marion County Sheriff's office says the explosion happened at a home in central Iowa around 4 p.m. Saturday during a party to announce the gender of a baby a couple is expecting.

Deputies arrived at the home in Knoxville to find a 56-year-old woman dead. Knoxville is about 40 miles southeast of Des Moines.

Investigators determined that an explosion during the gender reveal announcement caused the woman's death. The blast "caused a flying piece of debris to strike the victim," police said in a statement.

No other details about the explosion were available. The victim's name wasn't immediately released but it did not take long for word to spread through Knoxville.

"It's something that's supposed to be fun and exciting," retired pastor Gary Roozeboom told CBS affiliate KCCI-TV. "You have your family there and then, wow, everything changed in an instant."

In part that yes and in part remembering parents not wishing to know, learning at birth whether the baby is a boy or girl and only then informing everyone.

Basically.

Though it's worse if my initial assumption on reading that headline is true, and the explosion was literally from some lunatic who was so offended by the idea of anyone "forcing" gender identity on a child that they decided to try and bomb them for it. Because at that point I feel like we've pretty much forfeited our right to exist as a species.

You can't buy baby shower stuff if you don't know the gender, ... so it's the pre-order

I wonder if they were doing some type of weird confetti explosion or something.

Yes you can? You don't need to buy pink or blue things for a baby.

Well what people really mean is sex reveal but I think speakers of the english language have adopted using the word gender due to 'sex' being an awkward word since it also shares the same word with human reproduction.
