That John Jolie-Pitt post making the rounds makes me so angry. I am obviously 100% in favor of supporting children’s right to self determination but for fuck’s sake we have no word right now as to whether John IDs as male OR wants to use he/him pronouns. It’s so fucking gross how everyone is pidgeon-holing this kid because that’s easier and we want John to be our poster-child. For all we know John will or does id as non-binary or a butch woman or any number of things that includes male but isn’t limited to that. We don’t know because if John has said so nobody has reported on it! The kid is 8 years old and obviously figuring shit out. So actually let John figure it out instead of participating in the rampant speculation and assigning John’s identity for John without any fucking input from the kid.
