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.
The mum-of-two has now confirmed that not only is she raising Jackson as a girl — in fact, she says, Jackson is every bit as much a girl as her three-year-old sister, August.
Responding to the interviewer at her Beverly Hills home, she said she thought Jackson was a boy too, until he turned three years old and told her he wasn’t.
Yes, I thought she was a boy, too,’ Charlize agrees, briskly. ‘Until she looked at me when she was three years old and said: ‘I am not a boy!
So there you go! I have two beautiful daughters who, just like any parent, I want to protect and I want to see thrive.
They were born who they are and exactly where in the world both of them get to find themselves as they grow up, and who they want to be, is not for me to decide.
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.
When I was young I used to play ball with my brothers. I was always thair goalkeeper. That didn’t make me a boy.
Some women should not be given kids to care for. They are not mothers
