There are multiple pregnant people in my family right now and I really like seeing how different families navigate pronoun use for a baby that has an unknown gender.

I’m grateful for the takeoff of acceptance in singular they/them pronouns (and my sister-in-law is having twins, therefore using “they/them” in the plural way). But it still doesn’t come naturally to some people.

Some people are comfortable using “it/its” pronouns, and other people feel like that’s dehumanizing.

“He or she” is a safe bet if you don’t know the vibe of the parents. Don’t “it” a fetus until the parents do it first.

My favorite though is when “baby” is just always used. Just no pronouns for Baby. Baby is too small to have pronouns yet.

A lot of people are mentioning historical precedent for it/its pronouns for infants. I wonder if there’s a connection to the historical precedent for all animals being “it/its,” even if their sex is known or if they are talking animals (most animals in the original Alice in Wonderland book are it/its).

Nowadays most people will typically he/she both a baby and a dog as soon as the sex is known to them.

If you haven’t been otherwise instructed or cued, what do you call an infant (or fetus) of unknown gender?

“He or she”

They

It

“Baby” or some other cute noun in place of pronouns (bug, bun, bean)

Something else

I haven’t interacted enough with infants to establish a pattern

just finished this month's book club book, went skimming goodreads reviews afterwards as you do, got my breath taken away by this absolutely brutal ending to one of the multi-paragraph 1 star reviews

I think a lot of fandom's problems would be solved if more people who need some kind of religious structure in their lives actually found an appropriate faith tradition and stopped trying to derive a moral code and a reason for living from movies and TV shows. You can't have a fun conversation about art with someone who is treating that art like their sacred text, particularly when they become enraged that the blasphemous show runners and writers are destroying the True Religion by putting in a subplot they don't like

We need to conquer space travel for the only reason that zero-g would allow for new never before seen pastries, you know how the top of the muffin is the best part? Well that is because it is exposed to air so it changes the chemistry, in normal earth gravity it is impossible to make a muffin that is all top part because it needs to be placed somewhere which would restrict air flow, however in zero g it would be possible to make a bubble out of muffin dough which gets optimal airflow and becomes an all-top part muffin... This is the dream...

“Average uchiha has 3 crow summons” factoid actually just statistical error. Average uchiha has zero crow summons. Crows Itachi, who lives in a cave & has over 10000 crow summons is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

perhaps the prince should be allowed to command two of his knights to fuck each other for his own amusement. perhaps that's a reasonable and responsible use of the authority of the crown.
