We live in a world that is breaking free from stereotypes and labels. Society constantly changes, so unsurprisingly many people started to think who are they. Some people rethink their gender identity to feel comfortable. Transgender is an umbrella term that is used for a person whose gender identity does not conform to that typically associated with the sex.

However, there are instances in which this practice becomes a big deal, especially when Hollywood A-listers like Charlize Theron take part in it.

Charlize Theron’s parenting

Charlize is a proud mother of two kids: her son, Jackson, and her daughter, August, were both adopted. The actress believes her kids should be raised to be proud of their origin.

Charlize has adopted a progressive style of parenting, allowing her kids to be anything they want to be. However, it seems Charlize has taken things too far with her son Jackson.

Raising kids as girls

Several years ago, Charlize was seen with her son, who was dressed in a girl’s outfit. That time it was seen as an experiment to develop his fashion sense.

However, Charlize seems to have made it regularly, and Jackson has been seen rocking pigtails and braids during some public appearances.

The straw that finally broke the camel’s back was when the actress addressed Jackson as a girl during the conversation with Elle about her parenting:

“I look at my two beautiful girls, and I have the worries that every other mother has. I want them to be safe and able to live their full potential.”

Several photos have been seen of Jackson walking with his mother in female outfits and fans started to worry.

Fans are worried

Many internet users criticized Charlize for her parenting approach. Many of them have stated that she was imposing her beliefs on the boy.

Twitter user @emilio10 commented:

If that kid stayed in africa theres zero chance he would think he's a girl now.

This is child abuse.

This woman needs locking up.

I refuse to retweet this type of stuff. I can't believe how many levels there are to wickedness. I know I'm a man of sin and I have a lot wrong with me but I cannot understand how or why someone would ever do this to their children. I just do not get why it is a thing.

Facebook users haven't been left out of the conversation.

It is not certain if Jackson’s gender choice is as a result of Charlize’s beliefs or his.

Charlize hasn’t publicly commented on her parenting style. No one could accuse her of following the crowd. However, it is obvious that she has the best interests of her kids at heart. It is her own business and after all should we judge her? What do you think?
