    The “In Living Color” and “Scary Movie” alum counts a trans son among his three kids.

    I mean…regardless how you feel about trans people, if the kid is his son, and he has 3 kids, it would be one of his three kids.

    It’s like saying “Tom bought 3 cars. He considers the yellow one among the three cars he’s bought.”

    All that being said, it’s nice to see that Marlon isn’t a piece of shit that disowns his own children.

      Are you a native English speaker? This isn’t quite an idiom, but the phrase “counts [something] among [a larger set]” doesn’t convey quite the meaning you seem to have interpreted. It merely highlights a featured part of a larger group. In this case “counts” simply means “numbers” not validity.
