text: But... how is it any different than giving your child a gendered name?  That's why I don't really get the hate for gender reveal parties. It's just people having fun, and I know parents who do it who are also super supportive of trans people (myself and my friends). And something like 99% of people will give their kids gendered names which essentially do the same thing: reveal the genitals of their children. But we're not all up in arms about that.
