11 and Gender Fluid: Erin Zelle

Hayley Dias
Article 11 and Gender Fluid By: Erin Zelle
Quotes

The title of this article is "11 and Gender Fluid", a young girl who is just beginning to realize that she wants toddles like a boy. What amazes me the most about this young girl is the support she has for this young girl who walks into her store while working at J.Crew. She directs her to the girl section an  supports her when she wants to look at the boy clothing. This Child visits the store occasionally and this women never mistakes her for a boy an never says "He looks great in that sell."


This Young girls mother defines her daughters style as "Gender Fluid", I personally love this because there are more and more children changing there look as for looking at a gender change. But however this child is considers as "a Fluid" she can be defined as for having a masculine an feminine look. Many clothing companys such as louis Vuitton as a prime example looking at Jayden Smith in a t-shirt. She began to admire famous people on how each have there own look and wanted to have her own. 
          
Sullivan, she is just such an amazing young girl who isn't afraid of how she dresses. She loves who she is and changing her style of clothing into a boys types doesn't fright her. Her mother says as she grows into her age she is moving really fast into dressing in a masculine look. Sullivan tells her mother, "Im a girl. Im just not girlie."Other girls begin to see her at camp an begin to be very hurtful an tell her she doesn't belong in there bathroom because she is a boy, but what makes Sullivan even mire uniqe is she tells her friends and other girls "Not all girls have to wear pink..they can wear 
blue."






No child should have to explain why they dress the way they dress. They should not ever have to explain them selves to other young friends. A child changes because he or she feels that they are not who they are suppose to be. They feel different and important after they find themselves and in this article talking about how Sullivan is a young girl who isn't a girlie girl who loves to dress like a boy at the age of 11. She slowly is transitioning into looking more as a masculine young boy, her look began to change more and more she started with clothing and then for halloween she was Hells angles biker..and then she began wearing more and more blazers. Finally she decided to cut her shoulder length hair and she admired Ruby Rose and Stella Maxwell. 

"It was as though Sullivan's skin finally fit her gloriously and comfortable, and she was finally her own-exactly as she wanted to be. "
