It does take a minute to wrap one's head around his description of himself, I admit. Definitely speaks to the complexity of sexuality and identity.

"It's no secret in Hollywood that Warren Beatty and Annette Bening had a hard time accepting the transitioning of their eldest daughter to a boy. It's a story which appears further confirmed by a recent video in which their son Stephen Ira Beatty, born Kathryn Elizabeth Beatty, lists the people who have been most supportive of his gender switch. Stephen, 20, talks openly about his transition to being a boy from the age of 14, and lists his friends and peers as his greatest supporters."

He certainly sounds like a very smart young man: "On the changes he would most like to see in the world, Stephen says he would 'like people to be more intentional with their actions and with their language and realise that words mean things'. 'I would like people to imagine more complexly, I would like people to understand that other people are people ... even if they have enormous appreciable differences,' he says.

This young man displays a remarkable intelligence, which should be celebrated and nurtured - no matter the gender of the person in which it is housed.

I identify as a handsome white male with a beautiful white female by my side. Where's my headline-grabbing news story?

Post a video that dazzles the viewer with your quick wit and sharp intelligence and maybe you'll get one.

Did Sony Bono and Cher kid do or is going through the same transformation?
Maybe a movie is in the works, with this script it wouldnt be real original, but hollywood needs ideas.

someone that everybody at comic con can relate to.
and yet by some strange fluke, y generation continues to argue the point although they are utterly dependent upon boomers for their substance, they are really the most cool & valuable people to ever walk the earth.

Well spoken or not this person has some weird ideas. 'I am going to have babies, and give them onesies, with "This is what a trans-feminist looks like" on them ... which is something I've decided to definitely do.'. HUH?

Way to much time thinking about their labeling and "identity". Nobody really cares.
