Internet Reacts to Dwyane Wade Offering Advice to Dads Who Have Trans Children

Dwyane Wade says trans daughter Zaya knew gender identity since she was 3 years old

“It was a process for us to sit down with our daughter and find out what she likes and who she is,” Wade said to Good Morning America.  

Wade said he had to do a lot of self-reflecting to understand how to support his daughter.

“My daughter was my first interaction when it comes to having to deal with this conversation,” he explained. “Hopefully I’m dealing with it the right way. … Inside our home we see the smile on my daughter’s face, we see the confidence that she’s able to walk around and be herself and that’s when you know you’re doing right.”

Definitely a lot of mixed reactions on a very polarizing subject.

Wade and his wife actress Gabrielle Union are proud parents, and that’s all that matters.
