“Heteronormative” means imposing traditional standards of gender:
media being so heteronormative around the royal birth that it actually sickens me #LGBT #RoyalBaby

Karl is a self-described “queer” from Ireland:
There’s been so much talk about what gender the royal baby is that it’s kinda sad it’s being decided for them before they can even think.

Of course the royal baby might not even have a binary gender. — kassiカニ先輩 (@crabsarehere) July 22, 2013
It may be a boy – depends on how they choose to express their gender if at all

ISN’T IT A BIT TOO EARLY TO IMPOSE GENDER ROLES TO IT ALREADY? #royalbaby — PULMA JORKKINËN (@TSVKOM) July 22, 2013
It’s a bit early to assign gender roles to this royal baby… I hope they grow up to be a queen. Or, you know, whatever they want to be. — ERN⚡CLFFRD (@ERiiiN) July 23, 2013
Birth of the #RoyalBaby exposes the media’s love of patriarchy and #GenderConformity. I’m hoping Wills & Kate have a healthy trans baby.

A “Queer Arachnofeminist”:
STOP CALLING THE #ROYALBABY A BOY. ZIR BIOLOGICAL SEX IS NOT RELEVANT. This is how the patriarchy indoctrinated its future leader.
