A recent photo advertisement put out by J. Crew is causing plenty of controversy over its content.
Underneath the photo reads the caption, "Lucky for me, I ended up with a boy whose favorite color is pink. Toenail painting is way more fun in neon."
In the ad, Jenna Lyons, a designer for J. Crew is posing with her young son Beckett. Beckett's toenails are painted pink, and a caption by Lyons reads, "Lucky for me, I ended up with a boy whose favorite color is pink. Toenail painting is way more fun in neon."
The image has outraged many claiming that kind of behavior torments children and confuses them of their sexual identity.
Erin Brown, a writer for the conservative Media Research Center Network, said the ad "features blatant propaganda celebrating transgendered children."
Dr. Keith Ablow, a conservative psychiatrist said, "These folks are hostile to the gender distinctions that actually are part of the magnificent synergy that creates and sustains the human race."
Those comments sparked heavy reaction by those who don't see anything wrong with the ad.
Gabby Korach, a transgendered woman said, "He's just a child, and when I see it it's like, to have people say that...it doesn't make sense, it's more discrimination towards the boy and his mother playing."
Dr. Tyger Latham, a psychologist with D.C.'s Dupont Therapy, said, "I can tell you un-equivocally that there is no connection, scientific or otherwise between painting your toe nails and your sexual identity."
