The child will not have a gender until they're about 2 or 3 years old.
What are your top names?

The reason I didn't word it properly was because of the site's content filter. The if you write the s word when you don't have an account, it blocks the whole post.
Just stop. She wasn’t asking to be preached to about semantics. This is a name group.
She was not but she does not know what gender means.
She was talking about the genitals of the fetus.

Her post was ignorant. I'm helping so she learns the definition. She wants to choose a name based on genitals.
THIS is what you're choosing to be mad about? Out of everything going on in the world?
The truth is most people choose a name based on the biological sex of their baby. And the vast majority of people identify with the sex they were assigned at birth. Those who don't are a small minority, and if the baby happens to be a part of that minority, they could change their name if they so choose. The choosing of a name for them at birth does not have to revolve around that possibility.
This person made a simple and common error. There's no need to be difficult or to call them ignorant. Names based on biological sex are the standard, this person is not ignorant for going along with a cultural standard.
Also, you really need to practice what you preach, because the person who made that post never stated that they used she/her pronouns, and yet that is how you refer to them? Maybe you should stop judging people and focus on yourself :)

I use "they/them" pronouns, but I'm not offended because I didn't clarify. I didn't think that would matter when looking at names for my baby.
I don't think most people would think to mention their pronouns when searching for baby names. That's cool, though, and if you're want an Irish name that people can pronounce, you could go for a spelling variant and an Anglicized version that's more easily read, like Finbar, Aidan, Kieran, Carbry, Angus, Killian Barry, Kian, Eileen, Ashling, Caitlin, Kathleen, Keira, Alastar, Bran, Brian, Brigit/Brigid
hope this helps!

She’s announcing the pregnancy of a child and you chose to be an imbecile and point out a mistake in semantics to her on gender and biological sex. You’re not helping. You’re being a jerk and insensitive. Go kick rocks.
