      Aha! See, parents have begun to anticipate that! Now, the reveal is executed by the color of sulphuric acid that’s unleashed from a set of industrial containers.

        Look, if you can somehow find or synthesise a cyan or pink dye that’s stable in sulfuric acid, you can do whatever you want with it.

      Do you know many people that would throw a gender reveal party and dress the child in purely unisex clothing until they’re ready to choose for themselves?

        This is interesting because I’m trans and totally the other trans people I hang out with would do the unisex part, but all of us think reveal parties are dumb

          I’m a big fan of governor DeSantis’s law against exposing children to sexual identities in schools. Technically, the law prohibits the words “mister”, “miss”, “he” and “she” in schools. I think making gender an at-home-only thing for students is a great experiment to try. Let’s try it for a generation and see if they grow up with better gender health. Shame Republicans won’t actually enforce their own laws though.

    Ah yes. Many moons ago, my grandmother would insist on calling my friend that happens to be male, my boyfriend. “Your boyfriend is here!” Thanks grandma. I’m a guy.

    Reminds me of older people not realizing what “Netflix and Chill” means. A manager at work once mentioned it when talking about fun weekend activities in a department meeting. Had to bite my tongue after that

      As long as she brings Grandpa Richard too. Can’t have a lemon party without old Dick.

        If I had a nickel for every comment thread of lemon party/old dick jokes in the last 2 days, I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened two days in a row.

    A sex party would be way better than a stupid “gender reveal”. That’s definitely one of the trends of the 2010s I can connect with the least.

    Balm Threat, @balmthreat

    My 72 year-old mother just informed me she is going to her first “sex party” and doesn’t know what to bring.

    After some delicate questioning, “Gender Reveal, Mom. It’s called a Gender Reveal.”

    Maybe it’s a gender reveal party that will turn into a geriatric sex party. And she’s just not telling you that part yet.

    “Yes, mom, it’s just a gender reveal party, nothing to worry about.”

    I will remember this for my next sex gender reveal party 😏
