Why We're Not Finding Out Our Baby's "Gender"

Since being pregnant, I've been getting a lot of questions from people that go along the lines of "What are you having?"(spoiler: it's a baby!) In this episode of #TheHormoneDiaries, let's get into why my partner and I aren't finding out the "gender" of our baby and chat about some of the things I've been learning about the differences between sex, gender, and genitals!

33 weeks today and also not finding out the sex. In general people have been understanding except for asking me how I could possibly plan and I find that very confusing. Thank you for the video and your honesty. It's nice to feel less alone in this time.

Love this video! Heads up there are many disabled people who take issue with wishing for a “healthy” baby. I personally do not have a problem with this because I understand that there are only good intentions behind those words but I do see how it could be hurtful to some. I believe Jessica Kellgren-Fozard has spoken about this. Here is an article for more: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2016/04/08/disabled-mom-please-stop-wishing-for-a-healthy-baby-focus-instead-on-nurturing-a-joyful-child/

ooh thanks for sharing! yeah I wasn't sure about that language but I also didn't know how else to say it as it's such a common turn of phrase! but I guess the video is all about thinking a little deeper about the things that are so normalised to say!

Yes! Love the discussion of biological sex and how it's not as cut and dry as most people think. I'm a biologist and I've done a ton of reading on sex characteristics and sex differentiation and this video makes me so happy. I often hear people say gender is a construct/gender is completely made up, but I've pretty much come to the conclusion that gender is more real than sex because gender is how someone feels/identifies and sex is so much more arbitrary in comparison.
