In reply to Anonymous. The fact is that she is proud of her child and not ashamed like your typical homophobic parent would be. That's the difference. Whether or not it’s the child's imagination is irrelevant.

As a three year old toddler I had no comprehension whatsoever of who I was let alone Gender identification, to identify as a Girl is purely innocent childish ramblings I’m not in anyway condoning Gender identification to embrace your true inner self but surely a three year old child does not understand the concept of Gender or Identity.

Steve Hofmeyr is an ignorant plonker who doesn’t know what being a star (and therefore worthy of being taken seriously.)

Having a small following of a minority language group in an irrelevant does not make you a star. Charlize Theron on the other hand is true star quality and worthy taking note of. Sorry Steve, you are a has-been nothing and a complete waste of space.

I’m open to more thought on the subject but I do question Charlize’s judgement here. I went through a short phase at age 3/4 where I wanted to be a girl, largely because I had a sister two years older than me. My Mom didn’t discourage nor encourage, and I settled back into what was natural for me, and that was to be a boy. Perhaps greatly premature on Charlize’s part to decide based on the whim of a three year old?

I don’t think Steve was disrespectful but I agree that a 3 year old child’s hormones must still develop. It is too early yet. I talk out of experience.

In reply to craig. Toddlers and small children have a wild and vivid imagination. If you have children u will know that a toddler is not able to distinguish between fantasy and reality. To believe a 3 year old boy when he says im actually a girl is really absurd...

In reply to craig. What I find interesting is that Charlize's son is 3, not comprehending what it means to be trans neither a female. At that age I wanted to be a train, Yes A TRAIN! I didn't understand the concept, and neither does that boy. He probably doesn't even know how to string words in order so it makes a coherent sentence! I say Steve is right!

Well thats just the sort of rather misinformed remark that one has come to expect from Steve Hofmeyer. I am not even vaguely surprised really. What I find sad is that he has any following at all and I am truly proud that Charlize is doing so well as a mother and a star. We all know who she is internationally. Thank God Steve is just a large idiot in a small pond
