While Shiloh/John Jolie-Pitt has yet to comment on his/her own gender identity, we will be using gender neutral “their/they" pronouns out of respect.Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt may be two of Hollywood’s most accepting parents.According to a new report by Radar Online, the parents-of-six have consulted with a transgender expert to address their nine-year-old child Shiloh’s reported gender dysmorphia.Angelina, Shiloh and her sister Zahara. “Brad and Angelina were only coming from a place of love and only wanting the best for Shiloh,” a source explains. “They want Shiloh to feel loved and secure.” In 2008, the Oscar-nominated actor, 51, told Oprah Winfrey that Shiloh preferred to go by the name John — a decision they supported.And now the parents want to make sure Shiloh isn’t just a “tomboy” and wasn't influenced into wearing suits — rather than dresses — by older brothers, Maddox, 14, and Pax, 11.“Brad was told Shiloh would have gravitated towards dressing as a boy, and being called John, even if [their] siblings were all girls,” the source explains.“It’s just the way Shiloh is.” While Angelina, 40, and Brad have both been “very accepting” of their child, the source is quick to note they are still a child — and neither Shiloh, nor either of their parents, have concretely labeled them as “transgender.” “Shiloh could be a tomboy and as a teenager could become the most girly girl,” the source says. “There are no concrete answers. Brad and Angelina are committed to giving Shiloh a loving family environment.”
