Retired American professional basketball player Dwyane Wade, and three-time NBA champion, has revealed that he and his family have left the state of Florida due to what he says are restrictive policies that infringe on the rights of LGBTQ people.

Wade is a father of four, and in 2020 his 15-year-old daughter, Zaya, came out as transgender.

She has since legally changed her name and gender, with Wade being outspoken in his support of her. Zaya was born to Wade and his high school sweetheart Siohvaughn Funches in 2007.

“the young lady choosing to make herself a walking sandwich board”

I think it’s a guy.

[mewzilla]

Here’s where I stand on this...

If you’re an XX, you’re a biological female.

If you’re an XY, you’re a biological male.

But if I knew that young lady, if I met her on the street, out of kindness I would treat her the way she wishes to be treated.

That said, the young lady has no right to force me to do so.

If I chose not to do so, she has a right to either respect my choice and live with it, or choose to have nothing further to do with me.

Waaaaa, waaaaaa, boo hoo, buh bye! Dear Dwyane, your kid is mentally ill, seek help for it.

Guess that makes him a pussy.

[ronniesgal]

i don’t get this- why’s his DAD supporting crazy behavior.
I’m guessing mom’s the push behind it.

Were they able to take their belongings, or did they have to leave them behind when they fled in the dark of night? Must’ve been harrowing either way.

[ViLaLuz]

Heartbroken prayers for that lost, confused, exploited young man. May he see the light of Truth in Jesus’ Name.

The sad thing is, statistics on suicide rates for transgenders 10 years after the "surgery" is terribly high. It's because they became convinced that changing their bodies into what their dysphoria told them they needed to be would "cure" them. But, when they then discover they still have mental issues, and there's no going back because the sexual organs they were born with are gone, they convince themselves that the only option left is suicide.

Tragic. Who benefits from all this? The sex-change industry, of course.

Dwayne, your son NEEDED HELP, and you just decided let YOUR SON be a FAKE girl. So you moved from Florida (a state with no income tax) to California (a state that taxes everything), giving us proof that you are an idiot.

YOUR SON needed HELP, but no, you decide to be a cool parent and let HIM think HE is a girl. No HE is not a girl, nor will HE ever be one, HE will be a dickless MALE!

[deport]

HE will be a dickless MALE!

But life goes on until death. It made the choices.

So, she has mental issues.

[Baldwin77]

Briefs or Boxers?

[GOPJ]

The murder rate for transgenders is higher, but the people who kill them are usually black men. Black men who 'discover' the woman they've been coming onto is a guy.

The killers are NOT MAGA... do some research every now and then paranoid liberals and STOP SPREADING LIES ABOUT CONSERVATIVE AMERICANS.

Chromosomes don’t lie.

It’s called “thinning the herd”.

[mewzilla]

Don’t get me started on what Big Med has become.

I think they make Japan’s Unit 731 look like pikers.

[dforest]

Then leave and shut up. I don’t feel “safe”going anywhere every day, but I don’t call up the news and cry about it.

True...

[Socon-Econ]

Pro sports enriches woke athletes like this. Why do we keep patronizing it?

[Deplorable American1776]

$2500 for that jacket? It looks like something that was found in the trash at the local Goodwill!

HE doesn't look good in that outfit!
