Jolie told Vanity Fair in a 2010 interview that Shiloh has been exploring her gender since she was three. “She wants to be a boy,” Jolie said. “So we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boy clothes. She thinks she’s one of her brothers.”

Charlize Theron’s Jackson, aged nine

Charlize Theron’s nine-year-old transgender daughter, Jackson, is also living her truth thanks to her A-list mother’s progressive parenting.

“I was taught by my mum that you have to speak up; you have to be able to know that, when this life is over, you’ll have lived the truth you’re comfortable with, and that nothing negative can come from that,” Charlize told Jimmy Fallon during an interview last year.

As Jackson is slowly growing up in her own skin, her proud mother has spoken out about pronouns and the importance of using the correct ones.

“I feel like as her mother, for me, it was important to let the world know that I would appreciate it if they would use the right pronouns for her,” the actress told Pride Source.

Baby Spice Emma Bunton’s Tate Lee Jones, aged nine

Baby Spice is mum to nine-year-old Tate and 13-year-old Beau with partner Jade Jones.

While Emma has never publicly addressed Tate’s gender identity, she seemed to ooze with pride during her 2019 Christmas concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall when Tate performed a Spice Girls medley to the sold-out crowd dressed as a mini Baby Spice. Complete with pigtails and an adorable pink tutu, Tate’s on stage debut managed to almost outshine the Spice Girl’s special night.

Earlier this year, the 44-year-old singer celebrated Tate’s ninth birthday posting a heartwarming photo of the pair embracing on a beach, captioned: “You are teaching me everyday and I will forever be right by your side.”

Understandably, fans have praised Baby Spice’s parenting skills. One wrote on Twitter: “@emmaleebunton the way you just let your kids be who they are meant to be is so beautiful. People need to be more like you.”

Cynthia Nixon’s Samuel Joseph Mozes (Seph), aged 24

But before the marriage, Nixon was in a relationship with schoolteacher Danny Mozes and the pair had two children together. In June 2018, she revealed her eldest, Seph, is transgender in a feel-good Instagram post.

“I’m so proud of my son Samuel Joseph Mozes (called Seph) who graduated college this month,” Cynthia wrote. “I salute him and everyone else marking today’s #TransDayofAction. #TDOA.”

In 2019, Nixon told US Weekly that she was amazed that the news of her son’s gender identity wasn’t a bigger deal.

“There was some general, you know, voicings of support but generally it was not a big deal,” she said. “I was kind of shocked at what a non-event it was, which is just how far we've come in such a short amount of time.”

Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union’s Zaya, aged 13

This year, 13-year-old Zaya, child of retired NBA star Dwyane Wade and actress Gabrielle Union, came out as transgender. Wade opened up about Zaya’s identity in his documentary D. Wade: Life Unexpected.

In a February interview with Good Morning America, he said Zaya had helped him understand trans issues better through her own research.

But no need to praise Union’s parenting skills, because the star finds it odd to receive praise.

“To us, it’s a little odd to get any kind of recognition for doing what you’re supposed to do, which is love and accept and embrace your kids,” Gabrielle told Ellen DeGeneres in May. “So it’s odd to get recognition for that. Unfortunately, there are so many people who just don’t.”

Sade’s Izaak Theo Adu, aged 24

Iconic singer Sade’s only child, Izaak Theo Adu, came out as transgender in 2016.

In 2019, Adu posted a message for his mother on Instagram, thanking her for supporting him during his transition.

“Thank you for staying by my side these past six months mumma. Thank you for fighting with me to complete the man I am,” Adu captioned a photo of him embracing his mum. “Thank you for your encouragement when things are hard, for the love you give me. The purest heart. I love you so much. Queen of queens.”
