Anyone having a sex reveal party?

I'm new to the board and clearly posted this poll before I looked around and got a feel for topics and the people here. Now that I know, there's no need to comment here or continue to argue with each other.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion but here it seems like a difference of opinion is not respected here from some of your comments.
No, I'm an not attention seeking whore who wants to have a gender reveal because I'm narcissistic.
I have friends and family constantly asking me what I'm having or when I'm finding out on a weekly basis SO to combat against sending out a mass text or making multiple phone calls to people, I'm having a gender reveal. No gifts at all. I actually put that in the invitation. I honestly don't see the issue with celebrating the SEX of your child with your loved ones.

Re: Anyone having a sex reveal party?
You didn't know, which isn't major in and of itself. However, you're trying to enter an established community and you fail to read this first darn thing you come across on this board?? Ya you're gonna get some snark for sure and you can't blame us. I can blame you for being totally blasphemous though. I don't appreciate the JC reference, k thanks;)

I do recommend reading the first pinned post on the site, as it will clarify further, but I'll sum up: many of us have people we love that identify, or perhaps personally identify, with gender being separate from sex. You could be born with male sex organs but identify with a more feminine gender.
Also, it's quite distasteful to want to know or to "care" per se, about what your child's ultimate gender will be. You should love them regardless.
So, really, it's not so much that you're wrong for posting the poll, the the ignorance and seeming carelessness with which you did it (plus not introducing yourself which is kind of etiquette here) is not winning you much favor.
If you'd change the title to sex instead of gender and maybe a simple "whoops!" Response added, I think you might get actual particpation.
Thanks and gig em!

What I said wasn't a jab at anyone...simply just an idea as to maybe keep this whole "sex" vs "gender" issue under control.
You say you want to educate them but I have read multiple times that the OP never returns to read the comments anyway... So no you aren't educating them.
People don't need a bunch of other women calling them out to know they are wrong...it's clear it's not appropriate on this board because of the "stickie" or whatever I've seen it called about gender vs sex.
Because I see something happening over and over again on here regarding sex/gender and was trying to come up with a way to make it stop?
That has nothing to do with it. I love the bump--but not the fact that I have to read someone trying to upset the whole entire bump community with a stupid "gender" post. It's annoying.
I'm also not saying how things should be ran...just trying to come up with a way to avoid stuff like that.
I'm actually pretty good at stuff like that.
I could ask questions and get advice but often what I'm thinking has already been asked and I can go back and look at that.
So I don't have a reason to type out anything...but I do plenty on here in regards as a STM going through a pregnancy with getting advice.
I choose to say something and you have a problem with it?
That's not my issue. I'll continue to get advice here and posting when I feel it's necessary.
