    That's pretty cool of him,

    I honestly love jadens tweets, they're great

    "How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't real"

    "Most trees are blue"

    Will Smith's children seem really cool and open to things. Although I can't help but feel that they do most of this for attention, I read about this story about a week ago and the main thing that went through my head was "it's for attention". He also turned up to a wedding in a batman costume.

    Sometimes his tweets come across as attention seeking, but I do believe that the way that both of them express themselves is genuine because they have both done things that were gender nonconforming for years and they've both gotten slammed for it for years. Willows been called a butch lesbian and shameful since before she hit puberty.

    I'll will take a couple of hipster child stars over the many who are crashing cars and shooting up the latest drug cocktail.

    I think some of his tweets are genius, and many are really funny. I'm glad to see him do this :slight_smile:

    Great. But I don't get why anyone really cares about Will Smith's children.

    See, it bugged me.

    It bugged me because I feel like people would look at this and think "right on man, cool man" but if Brucd Jenner wants to live a true live and be happy, it's sick and disgusting?

    That, and I'm still mad it's not socially acceptable for guys to wear leggings. So I'm jealous he can wear a dress! Haha

    The thing is that isn't what the general population is saying. The only reason I heard about this story is through the fact that heterosexual men and women drug him on a social media. Making comments such as "Will Smith, come get your daughter". I certainly don't follow this family, but I recall the same thing happening when Willow was photographed wearing army boots and she was nine. She was suddenly a "manly lesbian".

    So, we might be more accepting of them in the LGBTQ community because they are so young and many people are put off by Bruce and the Kardashians in general, but the overall reception isn't great on either side.

    See, I thought EVERY person thought this - because everything I say is what every person thinks. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Kidding. :slight_smile:

    From MY perspective, I felt like there is more acceptance of someone like Jaden. I do understand what you're saying, though. It's not great on any side - which is something that needs to be worked on.

    Long garments, like the ones he's shown wearing in the photos, appear to be the hype among young celebrities this year. Jaden Smith isn't the only one. Troye Sivan in his latest videos can also be seen wearing unisex-boots/shoes and a long dark garment that looks like a wool sweater, which was very popular among females couple of years ago.

    Agreed, even Kayne wore a skirt a few years back. Its just a fashion it seems.

    Part of me wonders in this case though if Jaden is playing on the "controversy" of male androgynous clothing to garner attention, rather than to make a statement or dress how he feels - judging by some his ramblings he does come across as a bit self-absorbed or insecure.

    Honestly, I see it more of a tantrum to get attention. Many Hollywood people seem to thrive on being as "unique" as possible (my sister and I have a running joke that we call it " 'unique' with a 'k' " :lol:slight_smile:. Of course, by being "unique" they will trample on some societal norms because, well, that's what being "unique" sometimes entails.

    I do feel that Jaden Smith is the attention seeking kind and/or wants to be "edgy."

    "Polo shirts and khakis, so last century; I need to wear a dress." - Jaden (in his mind)

    Agree. I feel like it's more a case of him playing "controversial dress up." It's all a costume to him and not really a choice to fight societal norms.

    Here's the thing; does it really matter if it is just for attention? He (and others) are sparking conversation, conversation leads to change, this change is good. The more celebrities wear dresses or leggings or make up or whatever, the easier it gets to do it for us plebs!

    I cross-dress FTM so i know a bit of what it's like and it's great to see he's proud of himself and hopefully proving a point under all that ridicule.

    They actually do make meggings (male leggings), lol. I wish society was more open to people wearing what they want, because clothing does have no gender.
