"There are too many variables! We can't tell what is going on" is simultaneously the reason we can't have health care and the reason we have to keep dropping bombs all over the Middle East.

like it's all rooted in a weird and very disconcerting obsession with one's child-accessory embodying all the things one associates with that gender rather than letting the child be their own person
I mean, pre-natal they absolutely aren't their own person. There's an umbilical cord to prove it.
I agree that investing someone with gender from day one is this bad seed that'll threaten to bare poisoned fruit. But also... idk. Objecting to people throwing a gender themed baby shower just has the energy of those conservatives who freaked out at Starbucks for saying "Happy Holidays" or the MRAs who will throw a fit over a Bris.
The kids are going to experiment with gender regardless of what color smoke their parents use in their thermite explosives. Other than injecting a checky "and if they don't like it, they can always change it later" remark after the colors show, it seems a rough place to take a stand.
i do think if you're motivated to do that then at least one of the parents is invested in that outcome
Some folks just want to celebrate everything. Some folks just want to fit in. It's a trend and it's an excuse to eat tacky themed cakes, so people will go for it regardless.
I definitely think there's a desire to bond with a kid who shares your gender. But that's not something the presence or absence of an ostentatious display decides.
no conservatives
They've completely internalized the "conservative" = "poor southerner" trope that Republicans have been prostylitizing for ages.
I bet every single member of that society campaigned for either Pete Buttigieg or Michael Bloomberg.

How can I compete with their own incompetency?
I always saw him as sort of the center spot in a human centipede.
he wishes one of his daughters was a son
We can make it happen. We have the technology.
he's always cajoling his wife into bearing him another child so he can get his matching set
I've heard this sentiment before. I've even heard of folks doing IVF just to guarantee gender.
But that tends to be a separate phenomena from the Gender Reveal Party, which is more about making a spectacle of the reveal than being invested in the outcome.
Claims not to like red
Picks a color that's right between blue and red
Is this radical centrism?
Are they really going so high-brow as to call Palestinians "Voldemort"? I've seen far more comparisons to wild animals and 90s urban youth.
Comparing Palestinians to zombies feels very par for the course in the liberal zionist community.
The responsible way to have kids is to wait until you're forty, spend $50k on IVF, and then die in childbirth.
