Watercress Spriggs reports

Brisbane mother Sandy was heartbroken to discover that simply choosing particular genitals for her baby was not enough to guarantee a personality.
“I just wanted a daughter,” she told Moray Press, sobbing bitterly. “You know? Somebody I could talk to about girl things like makeup and hairstyles and Bic for Her. Honestly? I despise my sons. All they ever do is enroll in STEM courses and play with the toys marketed towards boys which I buy for them.”

Spencer, Tyler and Thomas, four, six and eight, all conceived naturally, came as disappointment after disappointment to Sandy and Luke. “We knew after Spencer that we would only have shit kids without intervention,” said Luke. “So we cancelled their music lessons and saved up for Gender Selection Treatment.”

Gender Selection Treatment – currently illegal in Australia – is a process that allows parents to decide on the gender of their child by knowing the gender of an embryo in advance. Moray Press believes it is crucial this practice remains illegal in Australia. Selfish babies of disappointing genders should continue to be born to parents passionate enough to spend upwards of $50k in an attempt to avoid them. Keeping this practice illegal in Australia makes sure that people who can’t afford to fly overseas are made to have children they won’t like.

After their second attempt with the procedure, the Brisbane couple were successful in conceiving a female child. What they didn’t count on was the betrayal that would occur only three years later. “She doesn’t want to wear dresses,” said Sandy. “She runs around outside and shows no interest in dolls. I can only pray she won’t take this further.”
“I can’t believe it,” said Luke. “All that money for nothing. It’s like she’s making decisions for herself, not giving a thought to who she might be hurting in the process.” The couple hasn’t lost hope yet, though. “She did show an interest in cooking the other day. Maybe she’ll come around.”
