Would they have acted disappointed if the pink poledancer had popped the balloon? Or is this entire thing performative with the goal of gaining more followers such that they would have appeared equally ecstatic? I seriously, honestly do not understand the point of these things. Even if you believe there are only two genders and gender is fixed at birth and immutable, I still don’t understand these. I’m friends with a lesbian couple, one of whom is decidedly gender non-conforming (but still identifies as a cis woman), and even they did a gender reveal cake when one was pregnant with their child and I just didn’t get it. I know for a fact they would have been happy regardless, and they are well aware of and supportive of trans people (like me), so they were aware the reveal could turn out to be wrong, but they still did it.
