Shiloh's parents have been cutting her hair short and dressing her like a boy for as long as I can remember. Certainly long before she was old enough to have an opinion of her own. Did her parents' actions confuse her? Hopefully not. It could just be a phase that some people go through. I, myself went through a "tomboy" phase. I wanted my hair cut short and I dressed like a boy-people who didn't know me thought I was a boy. I outgrew it and maybe she will too. It doesn't necessarily mean that she's confused about her gender.

Actually what they are doing is totally wrong because of Shiloh's age and they are causing tons of future problems for this child. The child was too young to be the one to make these choices. The choices were forced upon her by her parents. Why they are doing such a thing is mostly for attention I guess which is sick considering they were great actors when they started out. I believe they are horrible for forcing their will upon such a young child. It is NOT a choice Shiloh made herself but was coaxed into this kind of behavior.
Some people just do not seem to have much in the way of parenting instincts and knowledge nor brains, even if they were good actors once upon a time. :)

Ok who ever wrote this fuck off
They didn't turn him into a boy and they DIDNT do it from birth when he was born they dressed him in a variation of clothes however when he got old enough to talk he asked the parents if they'd call him John and a boy SO THEY WERE DECENT FUCKING HUMAN BEINGS AND COMPLIED
It's not favouritism because geuss what?? IF THE OTHER KIDS HAD WANTED THEYD SAY YES TO! I know it's probably mind blowing for you ignorant assholes to comprehend someone to be as accepting as that but ITS A THING
Now go shove your shitty opinions up your ass and throw your fucking prayers and shit in the bin

An Open Letter to Shiloh:
Shiloh, I pray for you in the Name of Jesus. I pray that you will come to a realization that your are perfectly and wonderfully made in the Jesus. God made you a girl for a specific purpose. Live the life God called you to live. May you be covered under the blood of Jesus alway.
In Jesus Name
Dont live in wonderland Shiloh. You can never be a boy. Boys have penis. The artificial ones do not work. Many have committed suicide transistioning from femail to male and have regretted their transition.
Know that God is always there for you in your deepest darkness moment. Turn to Him.

I guess you all who think that Shiloh is trans have no EYES! Her parents were dressing her like a boy since BIRTH! Didn't you see the pics??? SHILOH as a BABY in BOYS clothing. They made her a boy, not her choice. Y'all want so bad to stand up for trans rights and are deliberately being blind to the COLD HARD TRUTH. Her parents should be arrested for child abuse.

This is a form of child abuse. Angelina has had issues with that little girl since birth. Some of the comments above are sickening. A toddler does not know much other than the values the parents are instilling. They are blank slates ready for guidance! Bubblehead whipped Brad wanted a little girl all pure and feminine if i remember correctly,. I'm sure this is not what he wanted from his first born beautiful girl. He's allowed Angelina's twisted influence over the child . Why? Is he that weak? There is something seriously wrong psychologically with this whole situation. Please don't back at me with how wonderful they are and how they should be hailed for allowing Shiloh to choose. They chose for her! Abuse!

They had been dressing Shilo with boys clothes since she was very little. Maybe at a time toddler says she wants to look like her bog bros and they assumed that the kid wanted to became a boy and that moment on they make her a boy?, This is ridiculous, It should be the parents to be questioned for what little Shilo had became , they installed to her mind that she can be a boy at early age. Its like she has been brainwashed by her environment. Gosh can't believe it ! What a shame, just because she looks like a lot with her dad they will want her to be a boy too? What kind of parenting it can be
CAM - 9 years ago
Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion Bonnie. Yours just happens to be extremely narrow minded....archaic and ridiculous. Many, many adults have spoken" for the record" , that as young children, they knew absolutely, in their hearts, souls and minds that their male or female bodies were wrong, and they should have been the other sex to match what they felt inside. The children, without family support and or love, suffered greatly for years and years having to"hide" their true selves from their families and the world.
If the now, 7 year old (I believe it's 7) Shiloh, is just"going thru a VERY long phase wanting to dress like her brothers...... OR she knows inside, her heart and mind and soul that her body got mixed up and she really is meant to be a boy, well God bless her parents for not judging. Loving Shiloh, aka John, supporting her, letting her find her true self, allowing her to feel all the feelings she has in a safe haven , a loving home........, will help her decide her path and be a grounded, self confident, centered adult, no matter how she chooses to live her life.
Impressive, Brad and Angelina~Shiloh is blessed.

For those who think that Brad and Angelina are forcing this on their child, lives in complete ignorance and this includes the Dr. that was quoted. I, myself am transgender. I was born female and I knew as far back as I can remember, I hated girls clothes, girls toys, etc. My family thought that if they forced the girly things on me, eventually I would conform. My family, lived in ignorance as well. I was so afraid to be myself, I started putting on weight in 3rd grade, first thought of suicide was in 5th grade. It took me 26 years to embrace my true self and my family finally realized that I was a normal little boy as a child, I was just born in the wrong body. Today, I am 33. I am married and have 2 amazing kids. My son is a typical boy and my daughter is the girliest of girls. This is who they are. Stop the ignorance. This is absolutely nothing new, there has been transgender people forever. Do your research, you will surprised at the results. I commend Brad and Angelina for allowing John (Shiloh) to be himself.
Miley bytes - 9 years ago
Leave shiloh alone. Despite ber choice of clothing, she is a little girl and should not be bullied or labelled. Angie and brad are doing the right thing by letting shiloh be hersekf. Sheesh, some peeple arw so closedminded.
Jeannie Powell - 9 years ago
This is the most critical time in a child's development, and many parents don't realize it. Allowing the child to dress in boys suits is far, far from being a tomboy. It's sad how some parents believe they are helping their child, but in all actuality, are really hurting them.
Kristin - 9 years ago

Society preaches about how much they want equality yet questions when a possible trans child dresses in male clothing, which I personally think is extremely hypocritical and disgusting. Males and females are born with a male or female brain and it is all decided by how much testosterone you are objected to as a baby, inside the mother. Brad and Angelina's child clearly has an (at least somewhat) male brain. I think its unfair to think it is all down to Brad and Angelina how their child is dressed, they most probably let John pick their own clothes, which in itself I think is a wonderful step forward in society. Also to touch on the "does Shiloh even know what the color pink is?" line I think this is stereotyping to the point of ridiculous, do we still, in 2014, think children have to wear all pink or blue to be a certain gender? This article is taking a million steps back in the growth and movement of society when the current generation is trying it's best to take a few steps forward. I also would like to add about the poll itself that it's missing the 'No as they may be transgender AT THEIR OWN WILL' option.
cindy - 14 years ago
I had to laugh while reading these comments. I certainly have never met Brad or Angie, or their kids, but I do feel the need to voice my opinion. I think it's crazy to expect all little girls to wear frilly dresses but I don't think that's the issue here. Angie, do you really think a 3 year old needs to be wearing a loose tie around their neck?----it doesn't mater whether it's a boy or girl--the issue is safety. My youngest grandson is almost 3 & I can't imagine dressing him in this way---maybe super-rich 3 year olds don't get hurt like normal kids but I wouldn't want to take the risk.
DK - 14 years ago
SO WHAT? She is three. Considering the weather, the outfit is appropriate! Besides, at this age, children have very strong feelings about what they will and won't wear.
How can it possibly 'confuse' her. Is mom all gussied up? NO!
Get a grip people! Especially YOU Bonnie, for writing this article and getting the photo. Seems like invasion of privacy.

renee - 14 years ago
This is the most offensive article I have ever read. Did you take the time to think maybe Shiloh dresses herself? Maybe she enjoys dressing like boy because she is comfortable in those clothes. It is people like you that place people in situations that they feel necessary to hide who they really are.

F u Bonnie. Criticizing Angelina for not forcing her child to wear pink to conform to gender stereotypes. You are so small minded. So what if Shiloh is a tomboy? So what if she idolizes Peter Pan and her dad? Can you say with certainty that by this behavior Shiloh is going to be transgender/inter-sex when she grows up? This kind of stupidity and bigotry is why transgender people are socially ostracized and harmed. From idiots like you. And don't think that you're suck up post on their charities you made today can disguise it. Poor Shiloh, she isn't wearing a pink frilly itchy dress and high heels ala Suri Cruise. WTF?? You people are the reason why women have been marginalized so much. With corsets and homemaking. Shiloh is a child. Stop criticizing what she wears and let her be a kid.
mom of five - 14 years ago
My now 18yo daughter had two older brothers. She chose or opted out of all things girly at around 3 and WANTED to wear her brother's cast-offs. Some little girls like Ms. Z may in fact crave all things pink. When Shiloh was little she wore dresses so I think this is her choice, not Brangelina's parenting. My daughter is a freshman at an Ivy, plays squash and gasp is stunning and comfortable in her own skin AND DRESSES! Whoever wrote this article should do a little research in age development and appropriate characteristics...Shiloh is expressing herself which is her age. People get upset because Suri Cruise is running around in dresses and heels so apparently there is some general confusion about what little girls should wear?
anna p. - 14 years ago
it's really sad to see a 60 year old woman to pick apart, judge and criticize an innocent 3 year old.
i'm positive bonnie that you don't even know this child. probably never met her in your life. you don't know what she likes or her preferences. i'm also pretty sure that you don't know her parents. so what gives you the right to judge these people when you don't know them?
your behavior is embarrassing.
bonnie wolfe - 14 years ago
Oh horse feathers Bonnie! Get a life and YOU leave this little girl alone. So what if she wears something other that pink little frills. Until recently she's always had her decked out in beautiful girly style's. Have you never worn a pair of men's jeans? Or a man's T-shirt? WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? Get off it and let this beautiful girl grow up being herself. Her Mom will know when she doesn't want to wear them anymore At 31/2 years old it's highly doubtful that she even givess a rats ass about what she wears! mOVE on---and NOT over to Tigar Woods PLEEEEEEEEEASE
