Cynthia Morgan has joined voices in calling out actress Charlize Theron for dressing up his 5-year-old adopted son like a girl.
New photos of the actress and her adopted children surfaced online yesterday, showing the little boy, Jackson Theron, wearing a yellow dress and sandals, his hair braided into cornrows. The photos started conversations on the actress’ intention – if she was slowly transitioning the boy into a female, or if she simply was breaking gender barriers and allowing the boy dress up in any outfit he likes.
Well, Nigerian singer Cynthia Morgan is calling for the actress to be sued for her unorthodox parenting. She also accuses the actress of “trying to propel mankind to destruction”.
This is not the first time celebrities would be criticised for unusual parenting styles. Actors Will and Jada Pinkett Smith previously faces heated criticism for letting their children dress up as they want. Jaden Smith has worn dresses and skirts and attended events with flowers on his head. Neither him nor his sister, Willow, famous for her androgynous lifestyle, turned out malfunctioned as many people thought. On the contrary, they are the most successful among their peers.
Last December, Jaden Smith and his sister Willow were both awarded New Fashion Icons Award at the 2016 Fashion Awards hosted by the British Fashion Council and sponsored by Swarovski to celebrate its 27th year.
“I don’t see man clothes and woman clothes,” Jaden Smith once told British Vogue. “I feel like people are kind of confused about gender norms. I feel like people don’t really get it. I’m not saying that I get it.
“I’m just saying that I’ve never seen any distinction. I don’t see man clothes and woman clothes, I just see scared people and comfortable people,” he added.
So, is Cynthia Morgan’s outrage misplaced or is she yet another transphobic/homophobic troll uncomfortable with folks pushing the boundaries and expressing themselves the way they want?
