Last week I came across an article in which Angelina Jolie indicated her daughter, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, likes to dress like a little boy. Angelina and Brad encourage her to dress as she wishes.
I have some expertise in this area - I grew up a tomboy and (honestly) never really grew out of it. I want to mention that this is the first time in my life I've had a short haircut except for when I was a baby. Generally speaking, I'm much more comfortable in a t-shirt, jeans, and flip flops than heels and a dress. I tend to cringe at the thought of wearing heels. I've always been athletic and highly competitive. I'm more at home hiking than I am at a show (whatever that is). I clean up nicely, but feel awkward and out of my element...even if I can pull it off and look hot. Yes, HOT. You'd be surprised.
I keep seeing Shiloh's attire called cross-dressing and "baby tranny" and am really not thrilled with the connotation of that. What defines "boy" clothes vs. "girl" clothes? Because I want to wear a t-shirt, I'm dressing like a guy? Because Shiloh likes to wear fedoras, she's a "baby tranny?" (Shame on whoever you are and any media outlets writing that.) I just don't get it.
(Paragraph redacted.)
Don't you think this world would be incredibly boring if everyone was the same? Are you going to let society tell you what is "attractive" instead of listening to yourself?
I guess some sheeple will just never get it...
The struggle I have right now is learning about where I've gone wrong in the past, and being able to acknowledge and incorporate that information into my life without changing who I am at the core of my being.
Because I won't change who I am and neither should Shiloh.
