Re: Just wanted to RANT!!!
I get it. Your feelings are hurt.
Your insensitive posts pissed off a lot of people, and you got flamed for it. Choke down the humble pie you got served.
Nene gifs on point today.

@Momofboys just in case you're somehow not a troll, which I doubt, let me just put it to you this way: SO MANY women out there would LOVE to trade places with you. I have some incredibly friends who would make the most amazing mothers who can't seem to get their take-home baby. And hopefully someday they do get their take-home baby but there is no guarantee it'll ever happen. One of these ladies always dreamed of having a big family or 4 children and now she'd give ANYTHING for just 1. She's told me on a couple of occasions that she'd gladly give her life in child birth just to birth a healthy baby. That's how much it means to her. And yet she's still struggling with infertility. I promise you if she found out tomorrow that she was having a healthy baby she wouldn't say "Oh that's wonderful as long as it's a girl otherwise I'll be totally disappointed!" She'd just be freaking over the moon to be having a baby of either sex.
It took me 22 months off TTC to get here. (ETA: And as infertility goes: I'm definitely one of the lucky ones.) I had 6 first trimester losses. I'm still scared to believe I'll actually have a take-home baby at all. And I promise you I don't care at all whether this baby is a boy or girl. When I first started TTC I was one of those silly women who was all "I'd be happy with either I guess but I do really want a girl." I'm 100% cured of that. I just want a healthy baby. If this baby is a boy I'll be thrilled. Girl? Thrilled. It doesn't matter. And I honestly cannot read posts about "gender disappointment" without judging the OP. And yes I know you're going to reply back with something like "ohhhhhh I reallllllly care that you're judging me. teehee. I'm totes going to lose sleep over that.
And if you really just NEED someone to pat you on the back and tell you "gender disappointment is totally real and your feelings are valid!" I'd suggest posting about it over on reddit.com/r/BabyBumps. There are tons of ladies there who love to throw around trite responses about how you need to "grieve your loss" when you find out you're not having the sex you wanted. I'm not sure they know what real grief is if they can use the word so casually.... but still. You'll find a more sympathetic audience there. Stop posting to us about it. We're not your "right" audience.

@Momofboys again, if by chance you're not a troll, please go to "Thursday Ticker change" from this week and read my *TW* rants/rave section. Maybe that will help put into perspective why your redundancy on the sex of your baby is so very inappropriate. If THAT doesn't humble you, then I'm waving the white flag.

Other than it being GBCB, why was it removed? Language or was it more than that... I hate it when I'm late!
