A response I had in a discussion about gender-reveal parties and “theybies.” Mostly I just want to file this here.

RE: do you think parents should raise their kids as theybies?

I'm not sure. I think it would be simultaneously easier and harder for the child. There's nothing wrong with that if the parent[s] want to do so, although the world is far from ready to not be a dick about it. I think we should not enforce our own identity upon our children and give them freedom to decide who they are. We don't have to convert to theybie parenting, but we should let our kids know that they have options and allow them room to explore their identities, and we certainly should be ready to love them no less if their identity differs from what we assigned them.

Personally, I am a bit against gender-reveal parties. I think they're weird, and I think there's a subtext of perversion to them. Why should anyone but the child and their family know the shape of their genitalia? Why can't we just be happy for a new life regardless of whether said new life possesses a penis or a vagina? WHY does it matter what set of genitals a child has, unless you plan to treat them differently on that basis?

Moreover, my view of gender-reveal parties borrows from my frustration with society as a whole and our incessant need to assign *other* people identities based on their private parts. We obsess over our sex organs so much, it's creepy. Whether someone has a penis or a vagina determines our treatment of them, the language we use, the expectations of them that we hold, the names we insist on using for them--it's almost like human beings don't exist beyond their genitals. What do we care what someone has in their pants? Why should we let an organ inform us about them and determine how we behave towards them? Why are we incapable of calling someone "Bob" unless they have a penis, or someone "Lisa" unless they have a vagina? We shouldn't care about whether one has a penis or a vagina unless we plan to be intimate with them. Otherwise, it's just pure obsession over other people's bodies, and that, to me, is fucking weird.
