Ya people building explosive devices and starting wildfires is dumb, but that shit isn't exclusive to these parties.

"Gender Reveal" is a misnomer in the first place. The exciting part isn't inherently that the baby is a "boy" or "girl" and the stereotypical normatives that often come with those labels, the exciting part is that the baby that is growing inside a mother's womb is healthy enough to get to that point, and it's the first part of the baby that you can tell is developing in a unique matter. You want to tell my friend who has had to go through IVF and has had 3 miscarriages that she isn't allowed to be excited about her baby's development and have a party? You want to tell that same thing to my wife who is currently 38 weeks pregnant and has given up her body, energy, and life for the last 266+ days to growing this baby that she shouldn't have been excited about his development? Fuck that.

We don't plan on enforcing gender norms at all on our baby, and fuck we worked hard to find a gender-neutral name for him in case he isn't cis. But you can fuck off if you think we're not allowed to celebrate our baby's healthy development.

If you have a problem with the name of the parties, that's fair. If you have a problem with gender norms, that's fair. But if you have a problem with people celebrating healthy development for their babies, that's incredibly unfair.

No. Literally no one is saying that.

We're saying stop doing things at the party that could lead to people getting hurt. Like using explosives, or pyrotechnic displays. You can still be excited and celebrate without all of the extra over the top stuff.

Like all babies have eyes, a mouth, etc. the sex organ is the first part of baby you get to learn about that different from other babies.

I just think it's stupid to celebrate someone's assigned birth sex. It's like just a meaningless thing. Call it "healthy bby party" or something if you're celebrating the developmental health of the fetus

I feel like a baby shower is sufficient for the reasons you listed and gender reveals are just extra. Its hard for me to get on board with them. It took me several years and IVF transfers to get pregnant. I have no desire for a party to celebrate the gender. Im just happy to be having a healthy baby. If people want to do it, thats fine but at least stick to the frosting color reveals and not these excessive displays.

With the pandemic, Im not even doing a baby shower. Instead we are just planning a party for after baby is born. Were hoping by this summer with all the vaccines out, well be able to host it and celebrate. And shell get to meet all her family.

What a really odd thing to be defensive about. There are literally hundreds of milestones you can celebrate about your child before they're born and thousands after they're born, why pick gender to be the one hill?
We already have baby showers, it can be wrapped up together in that as well.

None, and every fucking person with a baby regardless of gender talks none stop about them.

I honestly don't give a fuck about anyone's kid. Me asking if you got that information I sent you isn't an invite for you to tell me about how you spent the weekend taking care of the new baby.

Fucking great you're doing the bare minimum of being a parent. I'd appreciate if you would do the bare minimum of your fucking job.

This is honestly what I took away from the OP as well. TC is saying that gender reveal parties that don't include anti-trans nonsense or explosions should be free from criticism, but that's what people who have problems with them are most concerned with
What TC is talking about is just "in name only" and not what people are really criticizing

This is why people have a problem with it. "I'm not anti-trans and I'm not trying to make my child have gender norms, but I am going to focus on their sex organ because I'm a weird fucker"

I agree TC. Like for example that one from a couple months ago with the antique cannon, that wasn't even the first time they had used it for some sort of celebration. The owner had done it several times before, and it just happened to malfunction at the gender reveal party. It had nothing to do with the reason for the party.
