Retired NBA star Dwyane Wade has filed a petition to legally change the name and gender of his 15-year-old son, Zion, who goes by Zaya.
Wade and his wife, actress Gabrielle Union, have said publicly since Zaya was 12 years old that the child is transgender and actually a girl. According to Wade, the child “came out” at age eight.
In a Los Angeles Superior Court petition filed Thursday, Wade asked for Zaya’s gender to be changed to female and that the teen’s name now legally be Zaya Malachi Airamis Wade.
The petition says that Wade has full authority to make decisions for his child, and that the teen’s mother, Wade’s ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches, has been notified of his actions.
Wade in 2020 posted photos of his then-12-year-old son to his Instagram account, praising the child as an LGBTQ+ leader while using female pronouns. “Everyone allow her to re-introduce herself her name is Zaya Wade!” Wade captioned a photo of the young child, who was wearing a bright green tuxedo jacket and pink sash.
“Last night was Zaya’s first red carpet and we couldn’t have been prouder of how she handled the questions that were asked of her,” the former Miami Heat guard wrote. “She has emerged as one of the young faces and voices for the LGBTQ+ community. #truthawards.
”While at an awards show where Zaya was honored, Wade gushed to the audience that the child “came out” to him at age eight. “When our 8-year-old daughter, Zaya Wade, came home and said she had something to tell us, when she came out to us, as a family, we admitted that we weren’t as educated about the LGBTQ+ plus community as we should have been,” he said.

It’s not society’s issue if your child desperately needs psychiatric help.
ID ten T alert!
Sad story that will not end well for the young boy. His dad will regret it too, eventually.
I’m old enough to remember when the left was up in arms about girls having their genitals mutilated in Africa….
JLo and Ben Affleck each have daughters that dress like boys. Megan Fox and Brian Green have a son who dresses as a girl. Same for Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts.
Failed parents.
Call me a cab okay your a cab.
“Dwyane will now have a daughter that has a penis.”
But it will be the daughter he’s always wanted.

If I was his ex, I would fight this insanity, unless she is accepting having HIM being molested!!
Maybe he can also file to have his first name properly spelled to “Dwayne” while he’s at it.
The psychiatrists are the ones who invent all this crap.
Having no opinion is different from having an opinion. I will die on that hill.

Dressing like the opposite gender seems to be the fashionable thing to do in Hollywood today.
