Ashley can't see beyond pink and blue and it's painful to witness. She treats her own children inequally and maybe this whole 'men are fine' spaff is part of the reason.
Alf will always be the boy who took away her freedom, the boy who was "overcooked", the boy who caused her physical pain, the boy who fed on the hour every hour for a year (I could go on), and Ada will always be the opposite. She will be her "home" because she is a girl. It's that simple.
What if Ada grows up and discovers she's trans?
If Alfie had been a girl, this whole narrative would be different. Let me spin it for you...
If Ada was "overcooked", then she'd be saying how she'd made such a wonderful and cosy home for her in there that her little girl just didn't want to come out.
If she'd have had a traumatic labour with Ada, it would have all been worth it for babygirl.
If Ada feeds every hour for a year it will be okay because she's her "home" and she holding on to every precious moment.
Side note: unless you know deep down in your very core that you would be happy with either a boy or a girl, don't do a gender reveal and put it on the internet, period.

Has she not got work to be doing?! That’s 10 minutes of my life I’ll never get back. She’s so incoherent it’s hilarious.
‘I know I’m going to have challenges with Alf *eye roll*’ Cunt!
She could be talking about how exciting it's going to be to raise a feminist son but she just can't talk positively about him can she?
