You know this conviction to be a powerful support to your children in their life decisions generally helps them to settle for what suits them best. Most parents believe in the philosophy of letting their children be themselves. Yes, Shiloh Jolie Pitt is allowed to choose her own fashions while her parents are very supportive. She, who would rather dress in a suit than a dress, began her exploration of gender at the age of 2 when she chose to be called John. And, of course, she has her parents’ support on her journey.
Either because she has older brothers or as a matter of choice, she loves boyish haircuts and dressing up as a boy showing off her tomboyish side thinking she’s one of her brothers. Another side huh? As if other sides existed for her, like girls. Angelina Jolie once said that her little girl has the style of Montenegro and prefers ordinary suits and tracksuits.
Although there are many questions as to why the parents allowed their daughter to continue dressing as a boy, in pants and a suit, they did not stop calling her “her”. Shiloh is still a teenager and her parents reportedly put off discussing gender identity with her until she was ready for high school. They also sought advice from subject matter experts so as not to harm their child.
However, transgender rumors may have been sparked by Angelina’s comments. She said her daughter “likes to dress like a boy” and “wants to be a boy.” their children as such.
As strange as the girl’s choice to be identified as a boy may seem, it would be unfair to quickly conclude that she is trans. She might just be copying her brothers and might even give up the whole practice over time. What should we do then? Allow him to explore his identity at his own pace and on his own terms, just like his parents.
