Rejected
Wrong Gender Preference
Expecting parents often want a child that is a certain gender. After all that is what being expected parents do.
Often the father of the fetus wants a boy but not in all cases. Mothers often want daughters but not always.
Some parents really don't care as long as they have a happy healthy baby.
Sometimes parents are happy until they find out the gender of their new baby.
Something goes very wrong when parents put to much expectations on what they want the child's Gender "will" be.
Many parents are deeply disappointed over the sex/gender of their child. The baby that was once wanted begins to feel rejected even before birth.
The rejection of the baby may not be done maliciously, but done nevertheless, with no understanding of the consequences. However, no matter how strong the parents personal preference maybe, it can be destructive to the child because of being rejected for which the child has no control.
Child sense rejection at a very young age sometimes before birth often will seek acceptance by performing as one of the opposite gender.
