Demi Lovato Gets Dragged For Calling Gender Reveal Parties "Transphobic"

Hello everybody welcome back to my blog. Demi Lovato had recently shared a lengthy post about gender reveal parties being transphobic.

The 28-year-old singer posted on Instagram slamming gender reveal parties saying that "expectant parents were unknowingly spreading transphobia by hosting gender-reveal parties."

The post reads, "This is not about being politically correct, it’s about being correct,” their post read. It explained that “transphobia isn’t just violence or prejudice against an individual trans person,” it’s about promoting that belief system. The post concluded by saying that only individuals — presumably not parents at a gender-reveal party — can determine their gender."

Now I want to say that first Demi wasn't the only one to post this she actually re-posted it from activist Alok Vaid-Menon, but I will say that I appreciate them wanting to be big voices of the LGBTQ community (as being a member myself). However, I think the "political correctness" statement is a bit far for them to be talking about and I think they are looking too deep into it. Most people celebrate gender reveal parties mostly for celebration of life and having different people come together to celebrate the baby almost being born not just to find the gender out.

Another comment Lovato had made was that in her post she said that "there are boys with v****** and girls with p******." This statement in particular got a lot of backlash. Technically they can but only if they become transgender. These certain attributes mostly rely on the sex of someone not the gender.

Many of the comments on Lovato's post were pretty negative. One comment said, "Demi I love you and I’ve always supported you, but no."

Another said, "They are just celebrating their damn baby stop putting restrictions on everything for the sake of being ‘woke!'"

I do want to say one more thing about this whole thing, just because there is a gender reveal celebration doesn't mean that the baby has to be that gender forever, once the baby is born, that baby will be able to do whatever they want to do. So, basically Lovato and Vaid-Menon are reading a bit much into this but again I appreciate them using their voices for something they believe in.

Anyway comment below if you agree with Demi & Alok or not?
