I'll Tell Ya...

In a nine-page Instagram post, singer and songwriter Demi Lovato called gender reveal parties “transphobic” and claimed that “there are boys with vaginas and girls with penises.”

Lovato claimed throughout the lengthy post that transgender activists dislike gender reveal parties because they divert from “reality.” To Lovato and other activists, reality is the concept that humans are born without any concept of gender. Lovato also claimed that basing sex off of genitalia is “inconsistent with science.”

At some point, the democratization of opinion becomes the propaganda of ignorance. What is most surprising is the confidence people have in wading into areas that are often complex and technical. This is a particularly American behavior with their rough-and-ready belief in the contributions of the average guy. The individual reigns supreme, lounging in coffee houses and arguing in bars, as they uncover flaws, defects and improvements in baseball, the steam engine, or electrical circuitry. This is a charming, wonderful human optimism, especially in our increasingly distant world.

It's worth the Lovatos.
