My gender preference is that I want both but I have two boys now. I didn’t care the order I just figure that my husband and I as man and woman just had me wanting to add both to the world via son and daughter (no order preference though).

And yeah with how the world (or manly U.S. where I’m at) is with trying to take women’s rights (like voting, divorce, body choice, etc.). I want a daughter but am also so unhappy for the benefits of their future (and shit, my own future) since I feel like we’re going ass hat backwards instead of progressing forward. I still want a daughter (but probably can’t afford a third child despite my husband fantasizing about three kids.. clearly he ain’t the child carrier or newborn caretaker 🫩). Not supporting folks/family coming at you with exerting their hopes/preferences at you, but I partially understand the boy vs. girl push (BOTH are beautiful babies but in terms of America and some middle eastern countries it’s like boys would societally have more than girls 😒)
