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!
