I'm the least PC person, nudity doesn't bother me, but like one poster said, you never know where these photos will end up, and for this to be one of your first posts. Weird.
Agreed, @Mother0fDragons. Like I said, apparently that's my hill to die on, which I own. Generally I ignore, but momofboys relentless posts were ridiculous and Herron and I have issues any way.
I said something. Couldn't help myself. I felt like it was being watered down to we were being petty, when in reality most of us were trying to support those facing difficult circumstances with their babies.

Just checked out the July UO thread. So it seems the tone is "Oh June must have been losing it over how our sex disappointment threads went down. You should see how they respond to those threads on their BMB". OK so now that we have formally acknowledged the lurking goes both ways, I'll just address them...
Hey July "sex disappointment supporters"... Sorry not sorry for refusing to support anyone "devastated" by how her kid urinates. I suppose I'll go on concerning myself with supporting members receiving bad news about their LOs health and/or members who have lost their sweet babies. I don't think those valued members care(d) if their baby has a penis or vagina.

Man, the pic disappeared before I went over there. I just don't understand posting a nude photo of yourself, or even a photo of your face on an anonymous forum like this. I come on here to talk anonymously with other pregnant women about my pregnancy. I don't want people to be able to find me IRL.
Wait... I thought QFP was "quoted for posterity". Like when you quote someone in case they dirty delete. I personally plan to use it as quit f'n posting from now on.
There someone over in julys UO who thinks she shouldn't be vilified for having a preference of what her baby is because other people have struggles.
It baffles me that some people have so little self awareness and so little care for what others go through. Some people can never be truly appreciative of what they have because they can't be bothered to see how much others are hurting/struggling. "Ugh woe is me for a roof over my head, food in my belly and good health. I prefer a mansion with filet mignon nightly for dinner and the fountain of youth in my backyard. Don't vilify me".
@swanbrooner meh she's not in our month. She can be selfish and thoughtless all she wants over there. She might change her tune if she or others in July start finding out their babies have some big issues. It might put things into perspective for her. But then again some people are stuck on stupid and are just naturally thoughtless.
I have to believe that 99% of the people who believe that massive sex disappointment is appropriate have literally never dealt with a real world struggle of any kind in their entire lives. Like if you asked them if they had ever been through hard times they'd be like "it took me a full 6 weeks to find a job after I graduated college" or "my parents wouldn't buy me a new car" or "it took me 3 whole months to get pregnant." Like this is a level of entitlement and complete unawareness of what the world is actually like that I have never seen before...and I attended a very expensive private university FILLED with entitled brats. I just can't even believe that there are people in the world that feel sorry for themselves because their perfectly healthy kid has a penis instead of a vagina. That's like crying yourself to sleep at night because your daughter is a brunette instead of a natural blonde. Or has brown eyes instead of blue. WHO CARES, THIS IS ALL MEANINGLESS.
July must have some kind of flashing beacon all over the Internet for drama, trolls, one off randoms, and awkward HDBD. They also have some not very nice regular posters who are active a lot on their board. I feel like the need some kinda of Drana Llama award.

Dirty lurker from July. Have to admit this made me laugh. The board has definitely had its share of drama lately

I'm an open lurker/contributor between June and July, and commented on the July UO thread that I almost suggested we skip any sex disappointment topics - but couldn't remember if it was June or July where that comes up so regularly.
If that comment came off that I was saying you June ladies overreact or anything else offensive along those lines, I apologize and want to clarify. My perspective was meant to imply it's a played out topic (on the disappointment side), people clearly feel strongly about it, and let's move on. (And yes, I agree with your general consensus on the insensitivity of such posts, especially in a community dealing with loss, complications, and other devastating struggles.)
Thanks for letting me lurk and occasionally join - you've been gracious and I would be really sad if it appeared I wasn't being fair to a community of women who have been nothing but welcoming and supportive.
Re: The Great Drama Llama Thread
Edit: to correct myself.
'Hey y'all, I'm new here, here's my bewbs!'
edit: oh wait... am I wrong???
I love this thread...
I read it as we are too bitchy to those who have a specific sex preference for their children. I could be wrong though.

And I guess I had to read the post they're talking about to understand. But I avoid dumb topics here so why would I go read theirs**?
**unless it's been flagged here for juicy discussion
The fvck?
