Jennifer Lopez Intros Emme As 'They'

Graeme O'Neil takes alook at Jennifer Lopez introducing her child Emme as "they" during a concert, and a recent private video with Emme and Ben Affleck.

[@ladyfl786]

First, she is a child. Second, a child shouldn't be in the worldwide spotlight just because a parent is famous. A child, after all is just a child and that child should be protected. Just because JLO is happy on the spotlight doesn't mean her children need to be. Years could pass and her child could regret this moment. Who knows.

[@shahdecorday1887]

I don't believe for a minute this is emmes choice. She looks uncomfortable in that stupid outfit

[@josephinevera9966]

If you can call that a mom. She spends more time with her boyfriend in turn than her kids.

[@lisamarierosso2713]

No good she was such a happy pretty little girl something went wrong. This will be another Cher and Chasity situation...very sad

[@kathleen460]

I saw a while ago she has an older cousin who is also a girl who dresses like a boy. So she was very influenced by her. I'm sure being a famous person's kid, especially with the pressure of not being as "pretty" as her mom. Which I'm sure is probably a part of it. Even though she is beautiful and she will grow into her looks. She took on this role to have a meaning and purpose other than just being JLos daughter.

[@JL-zn7me]

It seems as though kids/teens have to have a label to fit in these days. The majority of kids in our school district have changed their pronouns or come out as this or that, some as young as 11! In my opinion, it’s a fad. It’s also disrespectful to expect the world to conform to this ludicrous mindset! Get your kids therapy!

[@whatslifemartinez3076]

She just lost her marbles

[@GodsChildrenOnEarth]

It’s so sad that most teenagers are extremely confused and their parents aren’t there as a guide and Truth teller. It’s seems that teenagers have taken the dominant role and are the ones driving the parents instead of the other way around. I hope all confused teenagers aren’t doing the pronoun changes and sex changes out of peer pressure; much like teenagers doing drugs. May God help these teens. I have no problem with girls that are boyish, tomboys etc. Nor girls who know and acknowledge they are females but have a sexual orientation towards women and call themselves lesbian. A man can change his physical appearance to be that of a woman (and look prettier than a real biological woman) but the chromosomes will still be that of a biological male and they need to acknowledge that. My issues is when people are considering themselves another sex or “thing” (non-binary) and changing the biological definition of “female” or “woman” and male or “man”. You cannot simply change a biological truth!!! Changing a biological fact would thus negate all of Biology and consider all of biology absolutely wrong. This is not sound and is absolutely preposterous! I honestly think that all this pronoun nonsense was created from some mentally ill people and no one is telling them the emperor has no clothes.

[@greeneyes2452]

Totally agree but who will listen to the sane nowadays?

[@Adri-gp2us]

having a mom so good looking maybe this influenced Emme, just look at Anjolina Jolie's daughter who looks like boy too, it's a trend I believe, a sort of reaction, maybe growing up she will know her way

[@Iworkwithnitwits]

"They" is plural so this is incorrect on so many levels.

[@nicolapowell7730]

I have nothing to say about whether what JLo's child is right or wrong. But your statement is incorrect. They can also refer to an unknown or unspecified gender, e.g. "Ask your friend if they can help" or "An employee with a grievance can file a complaint if they need to".

It should not matter if she is gay. I hope she can find her way and be happy. Because she is a twin, is her brother also gay? Not easy for JLO if both turn to be gay, but I am sure she will love and support them no matter what. ❤

[@spunstelele]

Maybe she just wants to be or seem progressive. Demi Lovato probably wants to be gender neutral, so she does not have to be skinny all the time and live up to some barbie role. It does not mean Emmi is not straight. It just means she just wants to be a person not a gender.

So many will say "There goes does Hollywood people" but kids are expressing themselves more like this & it doesn't matter race, religion, political party, or economic status. This is what happens when people realize they have a choice/options. They are able to see outside of the bubble & understand that life is NOT what everyone else wants it to be. It is what you FREELY feel is in your heart. This isn't "new", this is what has always been in the heart of many but were shamed into thinking you had to be A or B.
