If you’re the parent of a toddler-aged little girl who likes to dress in boys’ clothes and will only answer to “John” or “Peter,” you’re in good company.

Well, depending on how you feel about the Pitt-Jolie clan.

Last week, UsMagazine.com reported that recent pictures of the celebs’ three-year-old daughter, Shiloh, dressed in a tie and bowler hat set the blogger gossip mill a’ turning with questions about whether the duo wished to turn their daughter into a son.

Really?

As it turns out, Pitt and Jolie allow Shiloh to choose her own clothes and, fortunately, experts stepped in to assure the masses that the two are perfectly within the realms of healthiness by allowing their daughter to do so.

“It’s quite healthy, as she is learning to make choices and think independently,” says Manhattan psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert, who writes a column in Metro newspaper called “No More Drama.”

Psychotherapist Carol Tuttle, author of Dressing Your Truth-Real Beauty for Real Women, tells Us the fact that Pitt and Jolie allow Shiloh to choose her clothes “is a very healthy activity for a little 3-year-old girl.”

Brad and Angelina and their many children are always sources of celebrity gossip material, but I sincerely hope that’s enough to squash the weak “they want to turn their girl into a boy!” scandal, haha.
