Actress And Mum-Of-Two, Charlize Theron Tells Us Why She Is Raising Her Son As A Girl
South African born Hollywood actress and mum-of-two, Charlize Theron has finally addressed swirling rumours that she is raising her first child, Jackson, 7, as a girl despite having introduced him to the world as a boy when she first adopted him seven years ago.
In an interview with Dailymail, Charlize confirmed the rumours and said she was doing her child’s will and her only duty is to love and accept her children as they are. She stated that her decision to raise Jackson as a girl was not premeditated and that Jackson simply wants to be a girl!
As photographs have appeared of the child wearing skirts and dresses and with long, braided hair, Hollywood gossips have wondered what on earth Jackson’s mother thought she was doing.

My job as a parent is to celebrate them and to love them and to make sure that they have everything they need in order to be what they want to be.
And I will do everything in my power for my kids to have that right and to be protected within that.’

How can a 3 year old know what sex he wants to be? This is a useless woman. She definitely wanted a girl and must have convinced the poor little child that he is a girl.
My son actually discovered the difference between a girl and a boy at 3 years. I even caught him once trying to wear his sisters earrings but I gently explained to him that boys don’t wear earrings. This doesn’t mean he is a girl or I should assume he is a girl. It’s normal for a boy to want to act like his sisters.
