I just think they're a stupid trend and another way for people to get free shit from their family and friends. If you like them, whatever. I think it's dumb.

Sounds like you hate fun, tbh. A party is a party, even if you give no shits about the baby it's an opportunity to socialize and eat cake.I just think they're a stupid trend and another way for people to get free shit from their family and friends. If you like them, whatever. I think it's dumb.
I've never seen a gender reveal party feature presents when it wasn't also a baby shower.I just think they're a stupid trend and another way for people to get free shit from their family and friends. If you like them, whatever. I think it's dumb.
I have, it was part of a holiday celebration but no gifts were involved. Usually it’s part of the baby shower, though.I've never seen a gender reveal party feature presents when it wasn't also a baby shower.

This is fucking terrifying.
BOULDER COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) – A scheduled performance, and videos shown in advance, at a Boulder County elementary school have raised concerns for some parents. Students at Superior Elementary School will learn about the importance of inclusivity, especially in relation to those in the transgender community.
While the school’s principal issued an advance notice to parents about the presentation and videos, some parents felt the topic was being forced on children at a young age.
“This is fairly typical in the Boulder Valley School District, to have our students learn about inclusivity and about compassion to other people and their differences,” said Randy Barber, Chief Communications Officer for the district.
According to the principal and the district, three videos will be shown to most children at the elementary school. The videos come from a YouTube channel named “Queer Kid Stuff.”
The videos, which are not directly affiliated with those performing, address modern issues surrounding gender roles, identity and terminology. They were scheduled to be played in classrooms before the performance.
“Those differences are things that we believe, here in the Boulder Valley School District, should be embraced,” Barber said.
However, not all parents agreed with the school’s decision. One parent, who wished not to be identified, sent CBS4 a statement.
“(The lesson) goes beyond a simple message of tolerance and acceptance. [We support tolerance and acceptance, but this is simply not age-appropriate],” the parent wrote. “We are saddened that this highly controversial and divisive topic would be invited to be presented to such young children.”
The parent also expressed displeasure in the performance that was scheduled for late November. A play, put on by “Phoenix, Colorado’s Trans Community Choir,” which addresses acceptance of all, no matter how they identify.
A spokesperson for the choir told CBS4 the play was about a raven, which is commonly misidentified by other animals. Throughout the play, the animals are encouraged to accept the Raven for the individual it is. The play also encourages those of many diverse backgrounds to come together in unity.
The play is performed by Coloradans of many backgrounds, including children.
One concerned parent questioned if such a topic should be addressed with children as young as kindergartners.
Barber said the school district felt the performance was age-appropriate, and said previous performances at other schools were deemed appropriate by staff.
“We really don’t believe that you can be too young to learn about inclusivity and differences in the community,” Barber said.
One parents wished the school would require parents to sign off on a waiver in order to attend the performance, or watch the videos.
Barber said concerned parents are welcomed to attend the performance at the school. Or, if they felt it was too controversial, students could be excused from the performance and given a separate task during that time.
How could a school think it’s appropriate to play Queer Kid’s Stuff when it’s pedophile grooming material?
I didn't totally agree with shoe0nhead's video, but she made valid points about how saying 'love' will confuse kids, and how they could be taught using examples of other people's gender/sexuality. The target audience are just too young to grasp some of what's being said.
Some parents don't have the ability to stay home with their kids though.I don't understand why the parent in the article said that they wished you could opt to have your child not participate. You can it's called keeping them home from school. Sit with them and watch Sesame Street all day, or teach them something that interests you. They're guaranteed to learn more than what the school had planned, and instead of needless gender identity issues at 5 they'll have a cherished memory of a day with Mommy or Daddy.
Yeah I know, but if you feel that strongly against it take a sick day if possible. If not grandparents aunts or uncles might be free.Some parents don't have the ability to stay home with their kids though.
