Mom Is A Change Advocate

[Blind Gossip] This Hollywood parent genuinely enjoys being a mom.

She is very protective of her children. There is one child in particular for whom she is advocating, though, in a way that might raise a few eyebrows.

You see, one of her children is gender dysphoric. There is a mismatch between their assigned sex and their gender identity.

In other words, her child was born one gender but identifies as the other.

Mom is very accommodating of her child’s wishes.

You want to dress as the other gender? No problem!

You want to wear your hair like the other gender? Fine!

You want to be called by a name that is usually used by someone of the opposite gender? Done!

Some people think that it’s cool that she is so accommodating. Others think it is odd or dangerous.

However, those are just clothes and hair and names.

Mom actually wants to take it one step further!

You see, she is already looking at helping her child physically transition to the other gender.

Doctors in the United States don’t really  want to help her do this. Supposedly they could get in a lot of trouble.

So, what are her other options?

She is looking overseas to see if she can find a doctor who isn’t so “hung up” on the age restrictions or who is willing to bend the rules for money.

Mom is an actress – and a famous one at that – so she is probably good at getting emotional and being very persuasive with her arguments.

It will be interesting to see if she can convince a medical professional to do this!

    angelina. dragging brad and kids through hell. her reputation is shot. haven’t read anything about brad fighting for kids, only that he feels sad. have no idea what’s really going on, but sure hope legal circles are keeping kids safe.

  2. abbie4917 says

    Just saw an article about Annette Bening discussing one of her children transitioning (believe his name is Stephen), so that’s my guess.

  3. rosebrook says

    Charlize Theron!! She must really be insane — one of the most beautiful women in world and she can’t keep a man. This whole trans thing is such BS. God doesn’t make mistakes. It’s not the sexual organs that are the problem.

  7. Jayzzzzzz says

    Actress: Charlize Theron – Brad & Angelina have shared responsibility. No one even in Europe would perform the surgery if there’s another parent involved.

  8. aaaeden says

    This is Charlize Theron.

    Jolie- Pitt kid Shilo hasn’t changed her name, they call her by her name.
    Charlize is the one that said her son wants to be a girl, non of Jolie nor Pitt has said that, their kid is just a tomboy.

  9. pharmchick says

    Absolutely nothing aside from clothing, hairstyle, name etc should be changed till 18, no medical intervention whatsoever, no surgery, hormone blockers etc. they are still too young and could develop into really bad side effects when theyre older. If medical intervention of any kind is done it should be considered child abuse and the parent jailed or punished.

  10. Kristen.Francesco says

    Angie or Charlize
    Also, as far as I can see, Shiloh has identified as gender fluid, vs. transgender. Likely using the pronouns, they, them, their instead of he or she. Additionally, they are 13, which is right in the age of puberty, and when hormone therapy would have the most significant impact.

    Bottom line, this isn’t my child. Whoever their parent is, they are choosing to support their child probably under the guidance of a medical team; to each their own.

  11. ImGuessing says

    Since there’s no mention of a father I’m guessing Charlize Theron, she started dressing her son as a girl when he was 3 was old like a kid that young knows anything about sexuality. Shiloh is a born female and I don’t think her boobs are a problem for now it seems the kind of surgery suggested it’s more complex like a penis removal. I think she she would wait until that kid is old enough to make their own decisions legally.

  13. Kellikopter says

    I think this is someone with a young child, so Naomi, Megan, or Charlize. Shiloh is probably getting old enough to at least start a medicinal regimen if they want to.

    • Kellikopter says

      If this was my child? I would want to be as supportive as possible. A good psychiatrist for both of us would be my first step in order to ensure we had an objective sounding board. And we would follow recommended guidelines and laws, as I imagine those are in place for a reason.

  14. tragicallyhipster says

    Totally agree that this is too soon – let the child get to puberty at least and see what happens. The hormones might kick in. I am assuming this is not the case of a child born with both sex characteristics just the brain is sending a different message for whatever reason. I babysat two kids, brother and sister, when I was a teenager.. The boy loved dolls and he would dance around the neighborhood in a tutu. The girl was a tomboy. They both ended up just gay not trans.

  15. Ken Adams says

    Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron, Naomi Watts, Zoe Zaldana, Megan Fox, Jaime King…??

    It’s interesting to see that in such a “small” community as Hollywood there are so many similar cases..

  16. cassadaga says

    Angelina Jolie and Shiloh/John (I’m not sure which name they prefer).

    They’re around 13 now so puberty is kicking in. If it were my child, I’d be doing the same.

  20. spoofbyrd says

    I would guess 4 guesses on this one. A Kardashian ( take your pick ) , a Goopy psuedo ly trying to be outside the box and unconventional , or maybe a Jolie , pending divorce consequences considering and all. 4th guess would be Sandra Bullock No way would I give into this as a parent. 18 well I would have no choice , you are a legal adult.

    • spookie says

      Yup, one of them. Angelina’s kid has been visibly gender-non-conforming for longer.

      Whoever it is though, get the kid into counselling with someone experienced with working with trans kids so they can work out what is best for them and understand the consequences before they make a decision. Nothing good comes from rushing into something so big.

  24. montebell says

    Is this Angie and Brad’s daughter Shiloh? At 13, she is way too young for any surgery right now.

    • spookie says

      Not for hormones though, even if just to block (female) puberty which can cause great distress in dysphoric kids. But it’s something that needs to be talked through with doctors and professionals first.

  25. GayleStorm says

    Charlize Theron. Even Sean Penn thought she was kooky, that says a lot.

    Let the child be. Her child is ONLY seven years old! The Hollyweird crowd is out of touch with any semblance of reality.

  28. emmasyd says

    Charlize Theron
    I’m.not sure if her child is confused about their gender, I think she is pushing it so she can be “that,” mum.

    If it was my child and they actually felt that way I’d wait until they were 16 before I let them physically transition

  29. fiddlesticks says

    Angelina Jolie.
    A few years can make an enormous difference in a child’s viewpoint. If her kids were in a normal school and mixed with others, this focus would probably have dissipated a while back. But in an insular environment where Mom is like a Goddess figure…

    • bec215d says

      Maddox refers publicly to Shiloh as his sister, by her given name – i don’t think this is her. Separately, I agree a few years can make a big impact but totally disagree “normal school” would ‘fix’ Shiloh’s self-perception. She has sisters who are self-identifying females, and she’s around a LOT of people in many different countries – she’s not cloistered just b/c she doesn’t go to a public school. Shiloh may be transgender, queer, or a girl who hates dresses – but Jolie isn’t why.

  30. wendybar says

    Charlize Theron and no…let the child be a child. When the child becomes of age, THEY can decide whether or not they want the operation

  31. High Steppa says

    Has to be Angelina and Shiloh. No child should be “helped along” until they are physically, mentally, and emotionally old enough to make the call on their own – in other words, when they are an adult.

  34. Babycham says

    Angelina Jolie.
    This wrong on so many levels, children this young should not be making these decisions. I hope her child has a wide support network, whom they can rely on.
    I am really trying to restrain myself, from expressing how deeply disturbing this is.

  35. spidermaino says

    Angie and Shiloh (or John). I don’t think it’s wise to have Shiloh get that huge surgery in such young age. Maybe later when she’s an adult

  38. prisioux says

    Angelina Jolie.
    I would wait till the child is of age. Puberty makes things weird already and adding transition might be not a good idea.

  39. Whisper says

    My first thought was Jolie but there is no mention of the father weighing in and given all the drama around the kids and the divorce you would think he would factor in. Also the blind does not mention her manipulation of the kids and that woulsn’t make her truly “protective”, more self-serving and vindictive.

    So I’m stumped.

  41. CoCoJoe says

    Well, if this is truly the kid and not the mom, s/he will be lucky to get the operation before puberty. I don’t claim to be an expert, but I wouldn’t blame the mom: Angie? Charlise?

  43. claireuk says

    Charleze theron.
    Dont think people need to keep mutilating themselves, live and let live, wear what you want to wear, sleep with who you want to sleep with but dont maim yourself or pump yourself full of hormones/blockers as we just dont know what they going to do to your physical health.

    • meatfactory says

      Tell you what happens to trans people’s physical health when they’re not allowed to transition: it ceases to exist. There’s no known ‘cure’ for gender dysphoria, the best we can do is treat it. Allowing a trans person to go through transition, hormonal, surgical, whatever helps to allay self-loathing, suicidal ideation, depression, all these things that make your life a hell you live every hour, every day, when you see your body, when others see it? It’s a good thing.

  49. Lilyco says

    I believe actress is Angelina Jolie. If this was my child I’d learn all I could. I’d consult as many people as I could who have actually confronted this issue in their lives to get their views. I would involve the child’s father and make him an equal partner in decision making. I would respect the fact that other people may have good reasons for holding a different opinion than mine and be ready to reevaluate my own.

  52. radmom says

    Oh Lord, this is Angelina Jolie and Shiloh. I think that before permanent body modification is enacted, that the child should be of age.

  54. aaaHils says

    Oh no! Is this Angelina Jolie and her daughter Shiloh? This should be stopped immediately until the child has spent time amongst a normal family (and before anyone shouts at me – AJ cannot be considered a normal parent). Who knows if this is really the child’s own wishes or a ‘tick box’ list for the Mum. Children from all races – tick. Girls – tick. Boys – tick.Now let’s add a transgender child to the mix – tick. I hope I am wrong.

  55. amagod121 says

    Angel(?)ina Jolie.

    Shiloh is way too young to make the final decision! What if she transitions & then changes her mind? She doesn’t even have the equipment to remove yet! And let me tell you, it is EXTREMELY painful to go through a reduction, unless St. Ange plans on just stuffing her daughter full of hormones that aren’t made for Shiloh’s body. What if Shiloh gets extremely sick later on in her life from having her hormones screwed with? So many things ethically wrong here!

  62. aaamzfab says

    Angelina Jolie

    It’s obvioisly about Shiloh…I mean all cool if Shiloh wants to transition…but that should be a decision she makes when she is an adult…not when she is still a child!

  63. Hammerlynn says

    Angelina Jolie and Shiloh

    I would let my child express themselves but I would not let them make that big of a choice until they were emotionally mature enough to handle that big of a decision

  68. Rainbeerry says

    Actress : Angelina Jolie
    She should let that child grew up and then let her decide if a transition is needed
    I acted a lot as a boy when I was young but never wanted to change my gender

  71. GooglyMoogly says

    Angelina Jolie
    Shiloh

    I’d help them as best as I could with however much I could afford. I have no problem with people wanting to change genders if it makes them happy. Life is too short to be miserable.

  74. wfreshie says

    maybe angelina jolie?? what a spot to be in for the parent and the child……don’t do the surgery too early

  75. memommamo says

    Angelina Jolie and John (Shiloh) Jolie-Pitt. I think she should wait until it is safe for her child to transition… It is an adult decision that should be made by the actual person transitioning – when they are old enough to make an informed decision.

  76. rayodeplata says

    Angelina Jolie forcing Shiloh’s transition to male. I’m all for respecting gender identity, but don’t make any irreversible changes until they reach mental maturity. I don’t know how safe puberty blockers are, but I would try those on my child before extra hormones or surgery. There’s a fine like between supporting transition and forcing it.

  77. Sassymom says

    Angie–has to be.
    I feel sorry for Shiloh. I don’t know if she is , or isn’t. It seems Angie is pushing for it, though.

    • QubbuQ says

      He does! That makes me think it’s a single mom who doesn’t need to answer to anyone else. Charlize Theron. She has contacts around the world too- being from South Africa originally.

  83. Searlait says

    Actress:
    Angelina Jolie or Charlize Theron
    [Optional] If this was your child, what would you do?
    No, I would not do gender reassignment surgery on a child.

  84. Silverdun says

    Angelina Jolie and Shiloh Pitt, who prefers to be called John or Peter.

    Seems to me that child has never identified with being a girl, ever. Not since she had a voice at least.
    She is 13 years old now and things are going to get very strange and uncomfortable for her. I don’t blame Angie for helping her! Shiloh knows what she wants, and being a girl isn’t a part of it. I feel bad for her. She will never ever embrace being a woman. She is lucky in a way Angie is good at helping her.

  86. trivialtime says

    Charlize Theron
    Me? Well, I certainly wouldn’t go the surgery route. I’d try to focus on life interests and not be all about buying frivolous clothing. As with any child, guide them to develop interests that aren’t all about them.

  87. vmuramoto says

    Angelina and poor Shiloh. We must be the critical thinkers God Almighty created us to be…people are not born transgender. It is a developmental behavioral issue. Simply finding good, sound, effective psychotherapy to diagnose the comorbid disorder and following with effective long-term treatment is all that is needed. The resulting traumatized and disassociated mind will cause the child to bend their persona into gender-bending confused people. Are you aware that a significant amount of…

    • butwhatever says

      I agree that Shiloh has lived a life with enough craziness to need plenty of good, sound therapy before trying to untangle such a complex issue. But even if some people who say they are trans, or think they might be, actually are just confused, I find it rude to say flat out that literally nobody is born transgender. The world has hundreds of millions of people and it’s likely that any given aberration or unusual condition happens to at least a handful of them.

  90. JoshuaTree says

    Angelina Jolie. Shiloh obviously the one who identifies as male even though she’s female.

    Transitioning at such a young age is still so controversial cause the long range effects still aren’t clear. That’s why U.S. doctors don’t want to do it. It should be legal at 18 but minors are still a touchy subject. Their minds are still developing.

  92. travio says

    No idea who it is but I would completely support the decisions of my child in that respect, but nothing medical until puberty. That is when blockers and hormones can come into play.

    I’m not sure what this mom wants doctors to do earlier than that. If it’s surgery or something, I can completely understand the doctors being hesitant.

  93. Steffy44 says

    Crazy Angelina. She has programmed Shiloh to be a boy since birth. It’s the only category of kid she can’t claim yet.

  95. mrw222 says

    This is Bat$h*t crazy Angelina Jolie for sure. She should let Shiloh/John make this decision for herself when she’s an adult. I can’t help but think that Angelina has always pushed this agenda to try and come off as edgy and different. I’ve even wonder if this was more HER idea than Shiloh’s.

  97. AliekaZola says

    Angelina Jolie and Shiloh. I hope she doesn’t do it. Let Shiloh make the decision herself when she’s old enough to do so because if Shiloh isn’t happy when she becomes John, then Angelina is looking at a lifetime of being blamed.

  98. Honey16 says

    Charlize Theron

    I would allow my child to grow up & mature. If they still feel the same, than yes, I would support them in whatever they would like to do.

  104. Lindasu says

    Angelina Jolie and the child is her and Brad’s first child Shiloh. Since she was about 3, she’s always identified as a male….to the point where Angelina and Brad were supportive. She’s been dressing masculine for quite some time….I believe at about 8-10 she chose a new masculine name she wanted to be called although I can’t remember what it was.

  106. TeaDrinker says

    Angelina Jolie

    I wonder what Brad thinks about this. As the father, he should have a say too.

    Optional: If this was my own child, I would allow him or her to dress how they want including hair and a name change but I would encourage them to wait until they’re older before making any permanent physical changes.

  107. aaaSeeK says

    Charlize Theron

    I’m all for letting people be who they are. Surgery in childhood is NOT okay, however.

  108. MinnieMe says

    Angelina Jolie.
    Children are too young to make this decision. They need to wait until they are older. In the mean time, I’d try to find a good child psychologist for the child.

  109. LilibetP says

    Puberty blocks is one thing until the child is grown and old enough to decide. Actual surgery is another thing entirely.

  110. grozer says

    Charlize Theron? Angelina Jolie?

    [Optional] If this was your child, what would you do?

    Nothing permanent. This sexual mutilation of children will be looked back at by future generations the way we look back at lobotomies.

  114. celebiddy says

    Charlie theron, angelina jolie, megan fox, naomi watts, take your pick

    It’s 100% child abuse and people should be jailed for it. Hormone blockers, genital surgery, transitional hormones, it’s all irreversible medical experimentation on children and genuinely makes my stomach churn and heart ache 🙁

    Sadly it’s on trend. Somehow this abuse is “woke”

    • alinaa says

      Totally agree! If it’s something they want to go through when they’re older then go for it, but a child cannot make that decision.

    • mmssjj18 says

      Honestly I wasn’t raised with gender norms in my house and was allowed to express myself without any bias from my family. Grown up very happy with my biological self, and came to that decision on my own with the support of family to just happy healthy. That’s like really radically parenting these days

    • amagod121 says

      I wholly agree with all of three you. Do it as an adult when you are capable of making such a major decision medically and personally. Or not at all. Having it done TO you as a child is ethically wrong. G*d only knows how a child’s body will react to such invasive medical intervention.

    • Kristen.Francesco says

      I am not sure that under the guidance of a psychiatrist and physican, hormonal therapy or blockers is consider abuse. Can you explain? It isn’t like a parent can just go buy hormones and give them to a child. It has to be done under strict medical supervision.

      Also, I am curious, if a little boy says he is gay when he is 10, 11, 12, before puberty kicks in, is that also something they should wait until adulthood to explore? Is that also, “woke” abuse?

    • 4sixx2 says

      Topshop, no one in this thread is saying to not acknowledge a trans child. They’re saying to not allow a surgical transition until that child has a fully developed brain and can make that drastic decision on their own as an adult. If any child announce they want surgery, it may be hard to acknowledge any second thoughts as a parent is scheduling and taking you to appointments.

    • celebiddy says

      Topshoplifter: i did not say there’s anything wrong with acknowledging a child’s preferred gender identity. Clothes, names, activities, let them explore and do what they want. But I absolutely draw the line at medical experimentation on children. I also wouldn’t let my child get a tattoo or anything else permanent. It’s called common sense.

  115. FiyahHotFlashy says

    Actress: Angelina or Charlize Theron

    [Optional] If this was your child, what would you do? NOPE! If my child wants to transition, they would have to do it when they become an adult and finance it themselves
