Jennifer Stallone Weighs In on Why Hollywood Kids Are More Likely to Be Transgender
Jennifer Stallone, wife of action star Sylvester Stallone, recently shared her thoughts on why children of celebrities seem more likely to identify as transgender.
She spoke about the topic during an interview on “The Katie Miller Podcast,” an excerpt of which was obtained by Fox News Digital.
Host Katie Miller asked, “Why do you think it is that so many kids in Hollywood now and kids of, you know, celebrity parents are transgender? Is there something in the water in Hollywood?”
Jennifer Stallone explained that the culture in Hollywood encourages extreme self-expression. “I just think Hollywood is, you know, it’s all about expression. So, you know, however you want to express yourself. If you feel like a cat today, you’re a cat. And it’s so loosey-goosey.”
“I don’t think that we’re really understanding that these kids are not our accessories. They’re little human beings that need structure. And structure is really important for them because it helps their brain organize everything,” she said.
She went on to describe how growing up in Hollywood can be overwhelming for children. “There’s just too much of everything and not enough direct parenting going on. You have private planes, giant homes with chefs, secretaries, assistants, housekeepers, and nannies. It gets really confusing for a little person,” Stallone said.
Despite this, she stressed the importance of teaching children common sense rather than imposing labels. “And it’s OK what you decide to be as an adult. But raise them just with good common sense. I mean, my daughters were tomboys.”
“They preferred to wear pants than dresses, you know. And they loved sports. But I never said, ‘Oh, you’re a boy now.’ I just said, ‘You love to play sports, you love to hang out with boys, that’s awesome,’” she explained.
Stallone’s comments come as many Hollywood parents, including Robert De Niro, Gabrielle Union, Jamie Lee Curtis, Charlize Theron, Cher, and Liev Schreiber, openly support their children’s transgender identities. Some of these children came out while still minors, while others did so later in life.
It’s interesting to hear a perspective like Jennifer Stallone’s, focusing on parenting style rather than just celebrity influence. Do you agree that structure and guidance play a key role in how kids understand themselves? Share your thoughts in the comments.
