Supermodel Chrissy Teigen has slammed people who are "reaching for outrage" over her In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) confession.
On Wednesday morning, the supermodel revealed that she picked the sex of her upcoming child during IVF.
"I've made this decision," she said. "Not only am I having a girl, but I picked the girl from her little embryo. I picked her and was like, 'Let's put in the girl'."
While she found herself defending her choice and even joked that she also "picked the embryo with a taste of bacon", she was getting fired up with some of the comments made on social media, reports eonline.com.
"What happens if your kid decides 'she' wants to identify as 'he'?" one follower asked. "Why is picking gender important unless you hope to enforce it?"
Never one to hold back, she replied with very little filter. "What in the?she can do whatever she wants," she explained.
"People really reaching for outrage here."
She continued: "Mentions. In. shambles. Lol. 'what...what...what if....your girl wants to...be......chem trails.....and cis....and....vegan...and....other buzzwords...' stop looking here for s--t to be mad at. There are so many other things that deserve your outrage."
Ultimately, she found all of the comments and dialogue "interesting" and something she didn't exactly see coming.
