Actress Charlize Theron has made headlines by announcing she has been raising her older, adopted child as a girl. The kid, she said, told her mother herself that she is “not a boy.”
“Yes, I thought she was a boy, too,” the 43-year-old actress told the Daily Mail on Thursday. “Until she looked at me when she was three years old and said: ‘I am not a boy!’”
There have already been rumors that Theron, an outspoken LGBTQ activist, has been raising her child Jackson as a girl, with pictures surfacing of the child dressed in a girl’s clothes.

“So there you go! I have two beautiful daughters,” Theron said. Her younger daughter August is biologically female.
The news was met mostly with an outpouring of support from fans and the LGBTQ community.

But some thought the media were not supportive enough, with several headlines saying Theron is “raising her child as a girl” – instead of calling her a girl – and of not being eloquent enough in celebrating a three-year-old’s life-defining decision.

Those more critical of Theron’s decision questioned a toddler’s ability to make such bold choices for themselves.

Others thought it was just a PR stunt to boost some upcoming movie’s publicity.

So many idiots in this world... especially celebrities treating adopted children like fashion accessories and sacrificing them to some stupid agenda.

Yeah...this is not surprising. I'm sure if you looked around, you could find tons of articles painting it as if she's committing child abuse.
You should support your child. I'm not sure this has anything to do with LGBTQ really, because you would do the same thing if your kid wanted to be a football player or a doctor, you'd support them. Unless you're one of those psycho parents that thinks that you should be a doctor or a lawyer or whatever no matter what you actually think. Forcing your kid to dress a certain way when they don't wanna, assuming it's semi-acceptable in society, is kinda the same way.
But, there might be no right answer if the kid does for some reason change their mind when they're older.
But, listening to your kids and supporting their decision is a good thing.

If "the kid" was born with a Y chromosome, it's a boy. End of discussion.
These people need to go retake biology 101. This trend is socially and scientifically garbage.
