it will honestly be so heartbreaking for the boys to read that kind of caption in the future - captions that Lennon has potentially already read. all the "i desperately wanted a girl" and "she's completed our family - there was, and always would have been, something missing - and it was her. i'm thankful for her every single second of every single day".
ouch. it's going to be such a slap in the face to those boys when they realise they were never enough for her, never good enough, and that they were just failed attempts at her dream of having a daughter. Queen is a "dream come true" and she's "so blessed to have her" - and now Queen has been born, she's "living the dream".
those poor boys are going to be totally shattered, knowing that she never wanted them - Ziggy in particular, when she's previously written an entire post about the gender disappointment she experienced when he was born - and that she didn't feel blessed to have
them, and wasn't thankful for them or appreciate how lucky she was ,and that her life feels complete solely due to the birth of their sister, and her life wasn't ever the life she dreamed of, despite having four sons.
equally, it's weird how - prior to having Queen - she made such a huge deal about how gender wasn't important, with a focus on gender creativity and non-stereotypical gender expression, yet since she had a daughter, it's all bout how Queen is a GIRL, that she's a SHE, that she's so different to the boys, and just a huge over-focus on her gender. she's always dressed in pink and little dresses and floral print, which is in total contrast to the gender creative clothes she dressed the boys in - as opposed to traditional stereotypical "boy" clothes and colours. it's like she spent so many years desperate for a little girl to dress up that she encouraged the boys to grow their hair and dress up in princess dresses to satisfy her desire to have a daughter, presenting it as not wanting to conform to gender stereotypes, when that was obvs just an excuse to dress ehr boys in the clothes she dreamed of buying for a daughter, because she's proved - by the way she dresses Queen - that she's totally happy to abide by stereotypical gender "norms"! i wonder how she'll react if - in the future - Queen prefers to wear jeans and sweatshirts in shades of blue and black, and crop her hair into a pixie cut - i honestly doubt she'll be as encouraging of her daughter's gender creative expression as she was of Hendrix's!
