Iza Calzado explains why it should be sex reveal, not gender reveal
MANILA, Philippines — Kapamilya actress Iza Calzado believes that it should be "sex reveal" and not "gender reveal" when it comes to her baby's shower party.
At the press conference of her new series "K-Love," a reporter asked Iza if she plans to have a gender reveal for her upcoming baby with husband Ben Wintle.
“Sorry. [It’s] sex reveal. Gender is an expression, and we cannot reveal it,” she said.
In her interview with Cosmopolitan, Iza elaborated further her stance.
"We already found out sex accidentally, so that takes out the point of a reveal for us, the parents. I see how this surprise can make other parents excited, and I appreciate and see the value in that. I have been to some sex or gender reveal parties, and it’s filled with so much joy and love!" she said.
"In today’s PC (politically correct) world, I can only reveal the sex as gender is a social and cultural construct. I would choose to highlight a baby’s good health as that is my fervent wish and prayer for our child above anything else," she added.
Iza said that they will focus financially on the birth of their child instead of spending for a party.
"From an economic standpoint, I think another party that we have to spend on does not make sense to me, personally, as all our efforts should and must focus on the baby’s birth and first few months and years," she said.
"All these decisions are our personal choice. Please do what you think is best for you and your child. By all means, throw a reveal if it will make your family and loved ones happy by coming together for that joyful moment. However, don’t be pressured to do one just because everyone else around you is doing it. Your journey to parenthood is uniquely yours. Celebrate it! Enjoy it!" she added.
