I've said this for years.
"Sex Reveal" has an entirely different connotation.
But just let kids tell you.
Give em a few years on their own to be exposed to how gender is expressed, then let them decide who they are.
Let's be real, most people would even take that to be one of two things: "biological sex" or genitals.
"Biological sex" is absolutely not what people think. It is not simply defined by genitals or chromosomes. It is not binary.
So let's simplify it and make it scientific and accurate, and just call it what it is, a genital reveal of your fetus. Could even be EXTRA violating and show pictures off to all the partygoers celebrating your fucking weird party about your fetus genitals.
Why not be a better person and just celebrate that you're birthing soon? Have a celebration closing out the last few months of privacy and peace before you have to start caring for a baby 24/7. Say goodbye to the previous phase of your life and ring in the new one. Like a bachelor/ette party before a wedding, but a no-children party before your first kid. It would be staying up all night and watching the sun rise the next day, then taking naps together in quiet, followed by whatever it is you can't do once you have a baby. Travel or have sex or something. This would also be inclusive for people adopting, where, a few days before you... Uh.... Take possession(?) of the kid, you throw one of these parties and socialize with your friends and say goodbye.
I mean, based on my observations, I think the only people organizing these at all are straight white cisheteronormative types (and further, almost always women).
Maybe that's just how I've seen it, but I've never witnessed them, I usually only hear about them at all if a video pops up of a compilation of bad reactions or mistakes (as in wrong color reveal, accidental early reveal) pops up. Maybe that's just me but I haven't personally seen much of any other group doing them in the first place. Occasionally there are others, but almost always done by them.
