Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie Searching For Doctor To Perform Sex Change On 8-Year-Old Daughter
According to recent statements made by Hollywood power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, 8-year-old daughter Shiloh has optedÂ to change her name to âJohnâ. After intense consideration and conversation with their daughter, the couple have begun looking for a doctor to perform a sex change on the child. They say they want to help rid her of the constant, uncomfortable reminder that she is âsomeone different on the inside than appears on the outside.âThe couple has openly discussed how their daughter has always been more inclined toÂ play with toys aimed at boys, and prefers toÂ wear boys clothing, as well as have a more âmasculineâ haircut.âShe wants to be a boy,â Jolie said. âWe had to cut her hair, she likes to wear boysâ everything, she thinks of herself just like a boy, and enjoys doing the same things as her brothers.Â She is a very smart child, definitely wise beyond her years and several times she has asked if we could help her âfix herself.âââIt is very difficult for parents to hear their child go through that kind of thing,â said Brad Pitt. âWeÂ have discussed it and we are certain that she really does want to go through with it, but we will continue to evaluate the situation while also looking for a highly qualified doctor who is willing to perform the operation.Â Itâs what John wants, and as parents, you give your child all that you can and more.âPitt mentioned on the Oprah show a few years ago, when Shiloh was four years old, that she wanted to be named âJohnâ. The idea is one she has clung to for years, and her parents now officially support her request. Jolie says it will be extremely difficult to remember to call her John instead of Shiloh.âEveryday I call her Shiloh at some point and she will get fussy with me, Iâm trying so hard,â Jolie said. She also added that the couple is proud that they seem to be teaching their children that it is important to discover who they are. âIt makes me feel so good knowing that all of our children know that it is not only okay, but a great thing to explore their individuality, and go on the journey to discover who they really are as unique people.âWhen asked whether or not they would wait until Shiloh turns eighteen to have a sex change, Jolie said it would not be the right thing to do. âThat would just be cruel. She is a very smart person, she knows better than anybody who she really is. We have every intention on fulfilling her dream in the very near future,â said Jolie.Â Â Â Â Â
