I absolutely get that, but I thought, perhaps making such a big deal out of the baby’s sex might set some large expectations pretty early on. Not only in the parents’ minds, but all the family that attends.
i mean it’s certainly going to be a bit of a bummer if they end up wanting to transition, kinda like how it sucks to be branded as “gifted” in school and then falling behind and unable to get a job.
I don’t think the gender reveal party adds to that in any way. It doesn’t matter to the kid and everyone else in the kids life is going to still have the anticipatory moment of finding out their assigned birth gender even if it’s just the parents/doctor telling them. The gender reveal party is such a minor thing years down the line; it’s not like a wedding or something. It’s like saying that theming your kid’s 2nd birthday party Bluey and them deciding they don’t like Bluey when they turn 10 is going to be such a bummer.

Those expectatioms will be there regardless and depend largly on the culture and people. A gender reveal won’t add much I think.
