This is a pretty touchy subject to talk about Knowsies. We also felt that it was necessary because sometimes we can gain a better prospective of a situation by listening to other opinions.
Ok. You guys know the Academy award-winning actress Charlize Theron, right? Theron is extremely successful in her career, but she says that being a Mom is by far more satisfying. Charlize adopted an African American son back in 2012 and an African American daughter in 2015. There’s no doubt that Charlize loves her kids, but there is something that concerns us when it comes to raising her kids. You see. Charlize’s oldest child Jackson, who’s only a 7 year old boy, identifies with being a female. Scroll down to see what Theron said about watching the movie Black Panther and how it will empower her “daughters.”
When Black Panther premiered in theaters, Charlize spoke about how excited she was after viewing the movie and looked forward to watching it with her two “daughters.” Here’s her exact quote.
“It was very emotional for me to watch it. Yes, I have two young girls, two young beautiful, black, African American girls — not from South Africa. But I had a very emotional reaction from it. I still do when I think about it because I cannot wait to share that movie with them.
“I said to myself, ‘I cannot wait until my girls are big enough to be able to share this with them.’ Because it’s so much more than whether you’re from Africa or whether you’re African American.”
“It’s such a bigger thing than that. That movie broke so many glass ceilings across the board. Not just the fact that there are women in power and they’re black, beautiful, strong, African American women, African women,” she added. “My children are going to benefit from that [and] I got something cathartic out of that. As an African woman, as a woman just in general. It’s so empowering to watch that movie.”
So. Of course we are all happy that Charlize is instilling powerful virtues into her children. However? Is a seven year old emotionally prepared to explain to his Mom that he wants to live as a female? Transgender people are a very important part of our society and contribute dearly. It’s just baffling that Charlize is going along with Jackson and his feminine feelings at search an early age. Seven years old is quite young. Is Jackson mature enough to even know the difference between male and female?
We would love to hear your feedback!
Charlize Thwron is a disgusting child abuse. Any agebia too young because transitioning is cosmetic procedures and has no medical justification. Pure disgusting vanity at the cost of your son’s penis.
Shut the fuck up
I also think 7 is too young to fully understand. Hope she got little Jackson some counseling first. Sorry but he is a boy. My grandson is 7 and says sometimes he wants to be a girl . NO and why? I do not encourage it at all.
I know at that age, you wouldn’t yet fully understand the concept. Don’t push your ideologies on young children like that. Just wrong.
This article and the responses are heart breaking. She was three years old when she felt that she didn’t feel right in her body, her clothes, her identity as a male. It’s not a phase just as being gay isn’t a phase. It’s something you know in your core. Charlize wants the best for her daughters happiness and if she listened to any of you, that child would end up lost, depressed and self harming. Talk to young children who feel this way and try to understand before you judge based on your one way of thinking. The unknown doesn’t have to make you immediately uncomfortable, especially when it effects you in absolutely no way.
Abbey, with all due compassion and respect to you, I feel like you aren’t completely informed on the issue. Three-year-olds have no true concept of gender and sexual identity at that age, and it is child abuse to encourage confusion in a child. Anywhere from 65-90% of kids who identify as transgender (depending on which study you look at) completely change and identify as their born gender by the time they are adults, so what you are promoting is misguided, misinformed, and incredibly dangerous for children who could make life altering decisions at very young ages (like becoming sterile – do you think that a 7 year old is capable of making the decision to go on puberty blockers and thus potentially be unable to have children? Don’t you think that they should be making that choice as a fully informed adult or older teen?).
Exactly!
Wait till he knows he’s gonna be ash flucked for life 🤪
People like you are what’s wrong with this world. God made male and female and that’s it. Doesn’t matter on the clothes/hair/makeup or even surgery and pills – it will never make you the opposite sex. There’s no way a 3 year old ‘knows’ what they want. Even then, your brain isn’t fully developed/mature till you’re 25. If a child says things like they feel they’re a girl or boy, you’ve gotta wonder firstly where that language is even coming from and as a parent it is your responsibility to not go along with it. Instead you need to nurture them and continue to teach what is right and what is wrong. They don’t know what’s what at that age and to believe they do? Then you are kidding yourself.
Hello. Please inform yourself on current, evidence-based psychological literature before writing articles on such sensitive topic. See for instance: Sarah W. Morgan & Patricia E. Stevens (2008) Transgender Identity Development as Represented by a Group of Female-to-Male Transgendered Adults, Issues in Mental Health Nursing, 29:6, 585-599, DOI: 10.1080/01612840802048782
Transgender identity develops at around 2-3 years old, as gender identity ist the first to develope (see Identity theory, gender). From age 3 on children are able to express their gender identities. Gender identities are stable. She does not influence/manipulate her daugther Jackson’s gender identity by allowing her to express it (wearing dresses, etc.). She’s just helping her to not have to force herself into being someone she’s not.
❤️ Thank you!
I think only the parent of a transgender child can really understand that. To just say “no” without digging deeper is what causes so many feelings of rejection, depression, anxiety and high rates of suicide in this group. Don’t just reject them, listen to them and remember how much you love them. I rather have have a happy, alive child, than a self destructive, suicidal one. I may not understand it, but my child is mine regardless and I will ALWAYS love him/her.
❤️

Somebody necessarily assist to make significantly posts I’d state.
This is the very first time I frequented your website page and
to this point? I amazed with the research you made to create this actual submit amazing.
Excellent task!
This is not her birth child. The child should be of age to decide. At three kids say many things but find me any child psychologist that a three year old is fully aware of what transgender is. A three year old cannot define what transgender is but adult can.
