What do you think is the bestway to announce biological sex?
What do you think is the best way to let people know the biological sex of unborn baby to create the least fuss?
With our last we told a few people quite casually that he was, as far as we knew at that time, a boy. Then others found out when we posted about his birth (we do use he/him pronouns currently, but he wears all colours etc and we don’t do any stereotyping where we can).
We found the questions around it were worse before we told people - do you think it’s better to not tell anyone the gender until birth or does that create a bit too much hype around it?
Due our second early next year and the elaborate gender reveals and obsession with gendering are already getting to me! 🫠 We will be finding out biological sex because I like to be prepared for all the stereotypes which will be thrown at us.

We just didn’t tell anyone. If it’s easier you can always say you asked not to be told. It is pretty wild how bent out of shape people get about the genitals of a baby. We knew the sex but just opted not to tell because we didn’t want to get a bunch of gendered gifts.
Such a good question! My partner and I have decided that we will find out the sex for the exact reasons you mentioned, to prepare for the stereotypes that are in store. But we’ve decided to tell everyone we don’t know to avoid any gendered gifts and things.
But yes think it probably will depend on how those are around you as to what you want to do!
Even though we’re not telling anyone, I will still need to approach a conversation with my parents about how we would like parent… which is a bit nerve-wracking as I anticipate they won’t understand/will judge me for it! But at the end of the day it’s our choice so will hope for the best, maybe they’ll surprise me 😅😅
Good luck!
