Robert De Niro's child comes out as transgender woman after starting HRT treatment

"Airyn, who came out as a gay man while in high school, said she never felt as though she fit in."

Affluenza

“I was always told I was too much of something or not enough of something growing up: Too big, not skinny enough. Not Black enough, not white enough. Too feminine, not masculine enough. It was never just, ‘You're just right, just the way you are.’

And trans is going to make this better?

He was a decent looking kid - he just needed to go to the gym and workout.

Trans will not make this better. You don’t have to look far to see the complications from botched operations these days.

He’s in his late 20’s so you’d think he was mature enough not to take these kids on TikTok so seriously.

Oh do trans people not feel like they fit in after they try to fit in?

If only people would just accept them. If only they would just accept them they could finally fit in.

Airyn's paternal grandfather was gay.

“I was always told I was too much of something or not enough of something growing up: Too big, not skinny enough. Not Black enough, not white enough. Too feminine, not masculine enough. It was never just, ‘You're just right, just the way you are.’

Thank God women don't have to go through any of these struggles. Women always feel just right the way that they are - they never think they're too fat, not proportioned right, hair isn't right, makeup not right, skin not right, too short or too tall, etc. They're never criticized online about their looks or clothes or are judged by others.

What a relief he will feel! Right ladies? Right?

De Niro now has a trans son and a violently autistic son, plus he just had a chinese baby girl 2 years ago at the ripe age of 79. What a bizarre family

Airyn keeps autocorrecting to Airbnb for me.

Git 'em!!

Is she appropriating a non-binary name?

Airyn’s maternal uncle the talented designer Willi Smith was gay.

With that pink hair, they should have stayed at non-binary. I thought that was closely associated with the pink and blue hair genes.

I never fit in either, I still love my dick.

You can be sure Airyn loves hers too

What percentage of trans women would you guess are happier, more content, satisfied, more at peace with, etc. after the transition?

I'd say much less than half.

I never fit in [italic]anywhere[/italic]. I'm not a typical lesbian, hell -- I 'm not a typical [italic]anything[/italic]. I never have been.

But I sure as fuck ain't a man trapped in a woman's body.

She looks to have Peter Pan Syndrome. Wants to be a young hipster chic forever. Reminds me of Elliot Page who seems to want to be a scater boy for life.

Has she finished college? Grad school? Has a job? A career?

All the life energy going into her superficial look and gender explorations? Le snore.

Who needs to talk to an actual trans person when we have r16's baseless speculation?

Transgender self identity is highly associated with neurodivergence and DeNiro already has an autistic son. Both this child and the transgender daughter were fathered by him after he turned fifty.

It’s not rocket science.

Guess he’s no longer a goodfella.

Where is Airyn's mom, Toukie? I always liked her. She seemed cool.

[quote]he just had a chinese baby girl 2 years ago at the ripe age of 79.

It's time he stopped slinging that geriatric sperm.

"He had a chinese girl"? Where did he get a chinese girl? Does he still have her or what? Is the girl still chinese?

Oh for fuck sake, the transceleb kids craze is over.

Grow the fuck up, spend that trust fund and be a gay man.

[quote] Too big, not skinny enough. Not Black enough, not white enough. Too feminine, not masculine enough.

Bet nobody mentioned "not enough of a pretentious twat" though.

The original interview was in "Them," which probably upped the pretentiousness quite a bit.

[quote] “I was always told I was too much of something or not enough of something growing up: Not Black enough, not white enough.

Nothing makes me roll my eyes harder than when I hear biracial people say self-absorbed and self pitying shit like this. There's no such thing as "black enough" or "white enough." You're a human being for Chrissake. Everyone gets 50 percent DNA from each parent, and if you have two parents of two different races, then it makes you biracial. It's not rocket science. Stop whining and get over yourself.

As a biracial person, I do feel that way. People get mad when they can’t put you in a box. Some biracials say that shit for attention @R28

[quote]Nothing makes me roll my eyes harder than when I hear biracial people say self-absorbed and self pitying shit like this.

The fact that you've heard biracial people talk about this often enough to prompt an eye roll shows that this is an experience that a fair number of biracial/mixed-race people share. You can roll your eyes harder, but there's sociological research into the specific challenges of growing up mixed race, there are social groups where mixed-race people interact because they have certain experiences in common... Why dismiss people's personal experiences outright?

"Not black enough" and "not white enough" are not to be taken literally: it just means that many mixed-race people do not feel fully embraced or accepted by either community. It happens.

"But I'm White! WHITE!!!"

I smell a comedy with Jamie Lee Curtis, Robert De Nero and their trans kids. My Girls perhaps? A reimagining of My Girl.

I wonder if other mixed race people (white/asian or white/latin) have that issue.

Many trans are on the spectrum. Many geriatric fathers have children on the spectrum.

This isn't that surprising. Paul Mccartneys kid is trans too, he was also a geriatric father.

Guruuurrlll, you talking’ to me? Bee-yotch!

R34 also, De Niro and Jamie Lee Curtis are "woke" progressives and most trans kids derive from liberal households and rarely from conservative homes, which is curious.

I mean, look at gays/lesbians, who come from both Republican and Democratic homes.

But trans/nonbinaries are mostly seen coming from the left and being raised by ACTORS.

Just as well Tony Soprano was aced before he had to deal with this.

Toukie's looking good for being in her 70s.

The Geriatric Father Troll has once again reared his ugly head.

They don't trust that old sperm!

900 demerits Master De Niro.

I had no idea that Robert De Niro was into chocolate pussy. Two wives, both black. You learn something new every day.

HRH Meghan can relate to the struggle.

R42 you're not a NYer, right? De Niro and beautiful black women have been everywhere in the city for decades. And in the gossips.

“Your truth?!?!?”

Madonna Lourdes mashup

An old Paul Mooney quip; "Only thing a white woman can do for Robert DeNiro is show him where a black woman lives. If you see Robert DeNiro with a white woman; he's holding her for the police."

R45's truth

SAVE THE MAGA DOLLS!

I think the statement about not every feeling right - not white enough, masc enough, black enough, fem enough, etc. is very telling.

Feels like a "I don't like who I am and feel like I'm doing things wrong - let me just be somebody totally different".

As if being trans is going to magic wand erase these issues. I sincerely believe SOME of these people transition as a 'reset' button - and to be somebody completely different. It's self-hate.

R50 Maybe chopping off your magic wand does the trick. 🤷‍♂️

R36 "trans...rarely from conservative homes, which is curious"

Ahem!!!!

Caityn a) came out at 65, so the kind of home in which s/he was raised is irrelevant; and b) is an autogynephile, which is nothing like Gen Z trans kids and comes with its own package of weirdness

R53 Caitlyn should be in a home...

When your parent is as famous as DeNiro (or even Jamie Lee Curtis), it's inevitable that you're going to have identity issues.

Your entire life you would have been seen as merely an extension of your famous parent, not as an independent individual.

Add to that bad parenting and being raised by someone who by definition is likely a narcissist and attention seeking, and you have a perfect storm of crazy.

'Airyn' 🤣🤣

Being trans is one thing, but not being comfortable in any identity is a lot messier still. His mom, dad, friends, didn't comfort him in the knowledge that he was fine as his unique self? I can't really imagine someone growing up in his privilege being bred to have zero self worth and no sense of sure and valued identity. Maybe much of this is hard wiring waiting for the trigger to make a mess out of a now not so young life. It seems heavy.

[quote]I can't really imagine someone growing up in his privilege being bred to have zero self worth and no sense of sure and valued identity.

There could still have been parental emotional neglect and resulting feelings of inadequacy and insecurity. Material wealth and privilege don't always shield you from those things.

I'll say!

R59 bwahahahahahaha

R8 and a grandson that died of an overdose 2 years ago

Gen Z/Millenials give so much importance to labels and gender that they automatically think adopting one will change their lives. It's quite sad.

I would love to understand the thought process here. “I’m a reasonably attractive guy, but my life would be much easier if I pumped myself full of hormones, chopped my dick off, and ended up looking like that guy from Twisted Sister with a need to dilate.

“I’ll finally get the straight guy that was never attracted to me before!” <— Something like that, R63
