When I was younger, or not even that long ago, I'm sure people referred to finding out the sex of a baby.

Now everyone always says gender.
1. Is this true or am I miss remembering.
2. Why would people now use gender, when my understanding is the general progressive view is gender is a societal construct, where as sex is xx vs xy. So isn't "sex" even more appropriate now than before?
Cheers.

The rise of a gender reveal party probably has a lot to play in this.
Sex Reveal Party sounds more like an orgy.

I did wonder about that.

My feeling is that people's change in description roughly corresponded with that.

Gender reveal parties are one of the few silent bugbears of mine.

I try really hard to be positive and think it's nice that parents to be are just trying to extract those last few moments of joy. But inside I think it's gash.
