While the anticipation of meeting your child makes you desperate to know them – and we see gender as a way to do that – finding out their sex and sharing it on TikTok means loading assumptions, traits and ideas onto them way before they enter the world. We know that prescriptive ideas about manhood pressure boys to perform their gender in ways that impact both them,and people marginalised for their gender negatively.
The expectation of a ‘mini me’ is actually just a man ‘passing on’ his performance of manhood on his son. He wants to create a son in his image, and feels like ‘more of a man’ by becoming a father to – what he sees as – the stronger sex, and all that comes with it: football! Wrestling! Winding up the girls! A man who so desperately wants a son that he will literally shudder at the idea of a daughter is fragile in his, and fragile masculinity needs validating.
