Gender reveal celebrations are a way for expectant parents to announce whether their baby will be a boy or a girl and have grown in popularity over the last few years.
Kill me now.
I didn’t even realise this was a thing - I thought balloons and the like looked stupid and wasteful but this is just mean.
Seriously! It’s like some people don’t give a damn about torturing animals if it brings them the slightest bit of pleasure. I wonder what it could be about society that would make these people think this kind of behavior is acceptable. In no other sector of civilized society would people have such a complete disregard for the well-being of other sentient beings for a short pleasant experience. Why can’t they be like the rest of the humans and never do anything that would cause suffering to animals out of pure selfishness?

That’s merely one avenue they get pleasure.
Surely now more than ever, we shouldn’t be giving a flying f**k about anyone’s gender anymore.
This “tradition” needs to piss off back to America.
It can take “baby showers” back with it if it wants.
In the same way Screwfix direct don’t need to know my marital status to sell me tools (which is why they call me captain when I go) I don’t need to know what kind of genitals a baby has to celebrate the beginning of their life.
I don’t understand how people go to this much effort for “gender reveals”. I’m even more perplexed anyone would give a shit enough to attend. Just stay home and flip a coin, toot a party horn regardless of the outcome, and you can do it again immediately if the surprise was a rush.
My guess is people feel like they have to go out of common courtesy, but even then, free alcohol was the only thing that scraped it over the line.
Just stop with the gender reveal shit. Verbally tell people the sex of your baby if they ask you about it like a normal person.
This is a ‘just grow up’ moment. Enough destroying a thousand acres of forest just to make a spectacle of a useless datapoint. You just KNOW these Felicias ordered SEPARATE limos to their middle-school grad party.
No shit. Kids gonna come out trans anyway prob.
Normalise gender reveal parties for trans adults!

How about neither.
Why not both?
Explosive birds?? I’m in.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
An animal sanctuary is asking people not to dye birds for use in gender reveal celebrations after taking in a bright pink pigeon.Polly, a pigeon whose wings and feet had been dyed pink and yellow for what is believed to have been a gender reveal, was taken to Pudz Animal Sanctuary in South Killingholme this week.
Sanctuary founder Shena Fairless said birds who are dyed are not only at risk from harmful chemicals in the dye, but are also more vulnerable to predators.
Despite Polly’s ordeal, Ms Fairless said she is settling in well at the sanctuary, adding: "She’s made some friends, she’s eating well, and she’s trying to fly.
"The RSPCA also issued a similar warning about using birds in gender reveals earlier this year.
A spokesperson for the charity said they feared “social media trends could be fuelling” incidents, and said dyeing or painting their feathers could make it so birds are no longer able to fly.

The original article contains 261 words, the summary contains 190 words. Saved 27%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Your kids genitals aren’t supposed to be a fetish. If you have a healthy kid, celebrate that. Fuck all the way off with all the rest.
Totally agree/ they are not a toy.
I think it’s insane to go through the effort of relessing birds
But I’ve seen this done and the paint is almost always temporary. This is mostly a non problem rage bait designed to piss y’all off.
I don’t think the paint’s the problem, might be more to do with, y’know, terrifying a wee animal for likes
That’s not what was stated 🤷♂️. This entire article is scooped at this particular issue and speaks with ambiguity about toxic and permanent prints. We terrify animals for all sorts of reasons which I disagree with.
This is just honing in on gender reveals because progressives hate them and it’ll generate clicks.
