“#Demi Lovato Thinks Gender Reveal Parties Are Transphobic — What Do U Think??
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nAre gender reveal parties starting to become more trouble than they\u2019re worth?<\/p>\n

We already know that the increasingly elaborate gender reveals are becoming a health hazard. Just last week a father-to-be died due to an explosion of a gender-reveal device \u2014 and that wasn\u2019t even the first time someone died that way. Not to mention all the damage when a similar device caused a huge forest fire in California! (Also not the first time that\u2019s happ<\/a>ened, BTW.)<\/p>\n

But gender reveal parties may be more than unsafe \u2014 they could be transphobic, too. These celebrations are a relatively new phenomenon (the term was first coined back in 2008), but the conversation around whether it\u2019s okay to enforce gender norms on infants (or fetuses, in the case of these pregnancy parties) has been around a long time.<\/p>\n

Demi Lovato<\/strong> threw her hat in the ring of this discourse by reposting a gender reveal infographic on Instagram. She wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201c@alokvmenon with the real \u00a0Thank you for sharing your knowledge and educating us always.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The post was captioned:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not about being politically correct, it\u2019s about being correct. The refusal to acknowledge this stems from a misunderstanding of what transphobia is.<\/p>\n

Transphobia is not just prejudice or violence against an individual trans person, it is a belief system that presumes non-trans people to be more \u2018natural\u2019 than trans people. Only individual people can self determine their gender.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

More of the argument can be found within the graphic, including:<\/p>\n

\u201cGender reveals are based on the illusion that genitals = gender and that there are only two options \u2018boy or girl.\u2019 This definition erases the fact that there are boys with vaginas and girls with penises and that there are people who are neither boys nor girls. The idea that sex is based on genitalia is inconsistent with science<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
