About Me and Tags

The fact of the matter is that these magazine covers are far more damaging not only to Shiloh but also to all individuals who consider their gender identity to be something other than heteronormative - especially younger people.  I think you’ll find that it’s not a fluid spectrum of gender expression that’s harmful to children, but rather the negative reaction to it that does more damage.  Rejection of difference from adults and lack of positive reinforcement for nonconformity truly has the poisonous affect on young children, and impact from the media, such as Life & Style magazine covers, can perpetuate that attitude easily, quickly, and enduringly.

    Agree! The way that I’ve seen Angelina and Brad handle Shiloh’s gender exploration has actually been really refreshing...
