People generally expect you to have an excuse, though. Otherwise, you get your one baby shower (only the first baby!) and anything else is tacky. I think that’s why gender reveals caught on so fast. The parents and, maybe, grandparents are grasping at excuses to celebrate. And why people find them so cringe in general. Everyone else is a bit annoyed you’re getting more than your one party.
The anthropologist might see skeletal differences but they’d also pay attention to the manner in which the subject was buried or what possessions survived with them that could also serve as clues of the subject’s identity in life.
Aren’t there skeletal differences that an anthropologist would point out?

You’re confusing sex with gender
I want a sex reveal party. Who’s having sex in the bedroom right now? Let’s find out!
This, but also

Very interesting, I appreciate the link.
Which no one would then know at the point of a typical gender reveal party.
A baby is a baby! Don’t need an excuse to celebrate new life. :)
In the off chance I ever reproduce, I want “I’m pregnant, chips and dips party!” style events. Everyone wins at those.

That’s called a baby shower.
Not with that attitude

Exactly; for instance, if two people of the same (biological) sex were buried together, it means they were definitely just very good friends.
Perhaps even roommates.
Bert and Ernie?
Oscar and Gil?
It’s a cultural anthropologist, obviously! :)
Skeletal differences are related to sex not gender.
