Dwyane Wade’s Candid Talk About Supporting His 12-Year-Old’s Gender Identity

Dwyane Wade supports daughter's gender identity

Dwyane Wade candidly chatted with Ellen about embracing his 12-year-old’s gender identity, and how he and his wife Gabrielle Union made it a priority to educate themselves about the LGBTQ+ community to give Zaya the opportunity to be her best self. The NBA star also opened up about the passing of his friend Kobe Bryant.

On Tuesday morning, Union posted a video to Twitter to introduce Zaya, who was assigned male sex organs at birth.

“What is the point of being on this earth if you’re trying to be someone you’re not?” Zaya said in the video. “It’s like you are not even living as yourself, which is the dumbest concept to me. Be true, and don’t really care what the ‘stereotypical’ way of being you is.”
