"Shiloh Jolie-Pitt's New Haircut: A Tale of Creepy Gender Politics and a Whole Lot of Fear
Brilliant. A little kid is splashed all over the cover of a fuckhead tabloid because OH MY GOD SHE HAS SHORT HAIR. Boy's clothes for a three year old girl? HORROR! Parents allowing their child freedom of expression? SHOCK!
I quote, from a Focus On The Family fuckwad quoted in the article: "Parents need to be the parents and guide their children. You don't want people asking, 'Are you a little boy or a little girl?' That will start to sink in."
This fuckwad has a point: when people belittle children over their gender expression, it "sinks in". Being picked on fucking sucks. But since when has the appropriate response been to tell the person being picked on to stop doing whatever it was that got them picked on. This "well if you weren't so weird/black/gay/trans/tall/short/purple/insert adjective here this wouldn't happen" is a ridiculous, fucking insane blame the victim mentality along the lines of a rapist saying "She was asking for it, she was wearing a short skirt." Moreover, a fucking tabloid article about how her parents are "turning her into a boy" is worse that "Are you a little boy or a little girl?".
As it is the right of women to wear short skirts if they damn well feel like it, so it is Shiloh Jolie-Pitt's right to wear whatever the hell she wants. And if she grows up to be trans or gay, more power to her. And if she doesn't, which is the more statistically likely outcome, more power to her. Hopefully this won't touch her. For the sake of three year olds everywhere, I hope not.
What the fuck, media. Another fabulous example of gender terrorism. Fuckheads.
Evil Tranny, off to empower some three year olds.
