"Why Is Angelina Turning Shiloh Into a Boy?" the cover of this week's Life & Style magazine asks readers. Claiming Angelina Jolie refuses to let her 3-year-old daughter wear dresses and insists on calling her "John," the accompanying article then cites "expert" opinions on whether the behavior is harmful to the child... including a rep for antigay group Focus on the Family.

"Little girls have never been women before. They need help, they need guidance of what that looks like," Focus on the Family's Glenn Stanton says in the magazine. "It's important to teach our children that gender distinction is very healthy."

As I recall my 3 year old spent most of that year thinking he was a dinosaur - a Pteranodon to be exact.  Somehow he grew out of it.

As long as it is their way.  Girls are girls and boys are boys.  It's more important that we teach them to be open minded and accept people for who they are.  Not some stupid antiquated , Homo/Transphoblic and downright dangerous view.
