'We wanted to announce that we got it wrong 17 years ago when we told the world we were having a little girl, and named that child McKenzie,' the mom wrote about throwing the gender reveal party. 'So we'd like to introduce you to our SON: Grey.'

The couple from Akron, Ohio, wore matching outfits of pink and blue. There was a cake decorated with pink and blue sprinkles and a big question mark on top. And then, of course, there was the big box that typically contains the pink or blue balloons that serve to reveal the gender of their baby.

Turns out, he had nothing to worry about as the rest of his extended family also took it well and are doing their best to use his correct pronouns, according to Gwaltney. To have that burden lifted off his shoulders felt"refreshing," the teen said. "You've been going by one name all your life and to suddenly go by a new name, especially when your parents call you by it, it's weird and has to register in your brain.

What a beautiful moment, what a terrific mom!

Did dad help or not?

Mixed feelings about this but send eell wishes to this family.

The Comedy News Network, aka the Communist News Network, trying real hard to get more viewers; this story is so comedic - but alas no one cares; report real news about real people;

Trans men are men. Hope this guy has a grey-t life and never meets anyone commenting here.

I am just wondering, will they give the clothes and girly toys back or refund money to their friends and family who were lied to all these years Also will Grey be seeking legal action based on the lies perpetrated by his parents?

you deny genders, by extension you deny biology, evolution, physics and chemistry. Instead you place perception or desire over hard science. This will come to bite everyone pushing this agenda, in the ass, and hard.

Omg I feel so bad for these Democrat children 🤦‍♀️. This is creepy.

Great job, mom! Way to show your son he is loved and supported!

What dose Dad think? And why do you think we care about this? The biggest thing about trans people is they can't just live their lives quietly. They beg comment and then outrage when its not positive.

Heh, they're literally starting to look like clowns.

This is gross and the parents should be detained for child abuse.

This is not... relevant. Someone's private party for a member of their family is not important. There are over 40 million people out of work. THAT is important to focus on. 🙄

The fact that this is considered news it ridiculous but then again it is cnn

Cringe.

I am not a fan of gender reveal parties or anything of that sort, but in this case I'll make an exception. That's how all parents should treat their children if they are trans.

Transgender what is that?

Wonder if the child would identify this way if he/she had different parents. This is gonna be one messed up kid.

Is this really “news”? 🤔

Really? and what would a DNA test tell us?

Would that I could charge half the people in these comments with hate crimes...

Well if an XX a girl and XY a boy keep it simple

What a family of ' wackjobs ' we've got here - disgusting, disgusting

That's sweet.

They'll forever get it wrong. Can't mess with nature & biology.

It's a girl. Mental illness is sweeping the world

U.S. executes Wesley Purkey, second federal execution in 17 yearsThe U.S. Department of Justice executed convicted murderer Wesley Purkey on Thursday, a Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman said, in the second federal execution in a week after a 17-year pause, over objections by his lawyers that he had dementia and no longer understood his punishment. Why is this a story? Idc what this third world country is doing. I'm sick of hearing about their millions of problems. When does realDonaldTrump get his turn (for negligent homicide over 100k people) Murder is not justice. This disgusting practice is a clear sign of an uncivilised country.
