"Woah, There Playa, You Sure You Want That Gender?"

We have a new baby this week! (Supposedly only one baby was born this week, given all the news coverage) Anyway, so British Royalty has birthed itself another heir to the throne. A king at tha- excuse me, my producer just told me that we shouldn't assign this new baby boy a royal titl- oh, wait, I can't say "boy" either? Ok, well I guess we shouldn't put this baby (is that an okay classification?) under the "pressure" of being a 'prince' yet, should we? That would just be horrible!

What exactly are we supposed to refer to this baby-born-with-the-genitalia-of-the-male-kind?

So, this week, people have taken to Twitter and other social media to chastise the Royal Couple for recognizing that their baby is in fact a boy, therefore a son and therefore a prince/ king. Others attack the media for attaching a "gender identity" to this newest member of royalty in Britain. These are just some of the fun, thought provoking tweets:

Has anyone asked the baby's opinion on it's gender? #RoyalBaby

Everyone keeps saying "It is a boy" but we won't really know until the child announces which gender they will identify as, right?

ISN'T IT A BIT TOO EARLY TO IMPOSE GENDER ROLES TO IT ALREADY?

It may be a boy - depends on how they choose to express their gender if at all

eh please do not try and force a gender on the royal baby already plz 

As if these weren't good enough, we have some people who not only think it's up to Kate Middleton to decide the baby's sex, but are rooting for the kid to be a Queen:

Birth of the #RoyalBaby exposes the media's love of patriarchy and #GenderConformity. I'm hoping Wills & Kate have a healthy trans baby.

Still could be future Queen. If he's lucky. #RoyalBabyBoy

Okay, so the #royalbaby's not a girl. Can I hold out hope he turns out to be gay or gender non-conforming? Otherwise, I'm bored now.

#RoyalBaby is a boy... Way to let #Feminism down Kate! Could have had a girl third in line to the throne, instead it's a sausage party. 

Anyway, enough from the twitter-heads.

Producer aside, we now have a new baby boy who is Prince of England and heir to the throne. I, for one, hope that he thrives into a healthy prince and someday King of England and does just what his great grandmother has done and keeps Britain as an ally of these United States and a formidable player in the world at large.

Congratulations to Prince William and Kate, Queen Elizabeth II, London and all of England.

One more tweet for y'all:

I think we should let the baby decide it's own name and gender #RoyalBaby
