Charlize Theron’s 7 Year Old African American Son Identifies With Being Female.

Charlize adopted an African American son back in 2012 and an African American daughter in 2015. There’s no doubt that Charlize loves her kids, but there is something that concerns us when it comes to raising her kids. You see, Charlize’s oldest child Jackson, who’s only a 7 year old boy, identifies with being a female. When Black Panther premiered in theaters, Charlize spoke about how excited she was after viewing the movie and looked forward to watching it with her two “daughters.” Here’s her exact quote.

This is what Theron said about watching the movie Black Panther and how it will empower her “daughters.” : “It was very emotional for me to watch it. Yes, I have two young girls, two young beautiful, black, African American girls, not from South Africa. But I had a very emotional reaction from it. I still do when I think about it because I cannot wait to share that movie with them. I said to myself, I cannot wait until my girls are big enough to be able to share this with them. Because it’s so much more than whether you’re from Africa or whether you’re African American.”

“It’s such a bigger thing than that. That movie broke so many glass ceilings across the board. Not just the fact that there are women in power and they’re black, beautiful, strong, African American women, African women,” she added. “My children are going to benefit from that [and] I got something cathartic out of that. As an African woman, as a woman just in general. It’s so empowering to watch that movie.”
