'Hollywood's trans kids lack structure'

Jennifer Flavin, wife of action star Sylvester Stallone, says the alleged trend of transgender children in Hollywood is down to a lack of “structure”. 

Hollywood stars including Charlize Theron, Robert De Niro, Sade, Cher, Damon Wayans, Jamie Lee Curtis and Annette Bening have all come out in support for their transgender children in recent years.

While speaking on The Katie Miller Podcast, Flavin claimed that Hollywood nepo babies are lacking in “structure”, which she saw as an explanation for the alleged trend.

She said: “I just think Hollywood is, you know, it’s all about expression. So, you know, however you want to express yourself.

“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 organise everything.'

“I think growing up in a Hollywood home, there’s really no structure because you have this thing going.  

“You’ve got private planes, you’ve got all these giant homes with chefs and secretaries and assistants and, you know, housekeepers and nannies.

'There’s just too much of everything. It gets really confusing for a little person.'

Despite her concerns, Flavin seemed to suggest that someone's gender identity wasn't a big deal once they were an adult. 

She added: “And it’s OK what you decide to be as an adult,' she said. 'But raise them just with good common sense. 

“I mean, my daughters were tomboys. They preferred to wear pants than dresses. But I never said, ‘Oh, you’re a boy now’.”
