Dulceida’s pregnancy has become one of the most talked about topics on the current social scene. After undergoing medical treatment with his wife, also content creator Alba Paul Ferrer, and waiting the three months of courtesy to check that everything was fine, the girl revealed that they will have a baby at the end of September or beginning of October.
Weeks after the announcement, the Catalan businesswoman announced that yesterday, Sunday, April 21, she would hold a gender reveal party with the most important people around her, something that sparked controversy on the Internet.
The couple enjoyed a very nice day accompanied by their loved ones. As we were able to see thanks to the stories they published, attendees signed up for one list or another depending on whether they preferred a boy or a girl, as well as participating in other dynamics.
Later, through a scroll that was unfolded, the couple discovered that their wish was coming true and that Aida Domènech was carrying a girl inside her. Although the influencers wanted to avoid the clichés of blue/pink (something that many users on the Internet have applauded), the celebration of the event has given a lot to talk about in the last few hours.
Many fans of the marriage have been genuinely disappointed to discover that, despite belonging to the LGTBI community, they have held a gender reveal. The controversy arises because this event has always been associated with the reaffirmation of binary gender norms, which directly attack the diversity of the LGTBI community.
Hundreds of users have expressed on social networks that these types of parties reveal the genitals (and not always) that the baby in question will have, but that gender is somewhat more complicated. In addition, Dulceida and Alba have also been criticized for ignoring the reality of non-binary and/or trans people.
Although it is a common practice in the world of social networks, the Internet has been filled with criticism against Domènech and Paul Ferrer because many considered them to be great references and allies in the collective’s struggle.
”The really nice and exciting thing would have been for that paper to say: “it will be what I choose to be””, ”An LGBT family having a gender reveal celebration?” or ”What if it comes out trans? In the end, I understand how nice it is to celebrate the arrival of a baby, but assigning gender is not very LGBT-friendly.” are some of the comments that can be read online.
