I recently learned a new term: Gender Disappointment, or GD. I found out about this after finding a board with women who "have" this. Apparently they get really worked up over having a baby that isn't the gender they wanted, and go so far as to become really depressed, and think bad thoughts towards people who have kids that are the "right" gender. They even talk about how it affects their relationship with their kid! How shallow is this? Why can't they just be happy they have a healthy, happy baby? Why do they have to make up a pseudo-problem when there's more important, and more serious, things to stress about in the world?
Can someone explain this to me?
