'We would not be accepted or feel comfortable there': NBA legend Dwyane Wade reveals his family fled Florida because his transgender daughter no longer felt safe under the state's anti-LGBTQ policies
UK Daily Mail ^ | April 27 2023 | JAMES GORDON

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.

Phew. Another one bites the dust! All of them should go live in a trans community on a mountain somewhere and leave polite society alone. But I do feel bad for the kids being in a child abusive family.

First Magic, now Dwayne.

Dads that are impossible to measure up to might make their kids more amenable to switching teams.

“ fled Florida”

Ahead of the torch-bearing mobs of conservatives looking to storm their home because their daughter is a butch lesbian?

Well, it helps to have a bizillion-dollar shopping allowance to pull of the “look”, doesn’t it? But the spoiled child feels threatened by normal people.

The fact still remains that most of Florida (normals) feel threatened by the antics of people like her, such as men in the women’s restroom.

Everybody said I should stop drinking heavily and driving, so I went someplace else to drink freely, and drive.

Sound logic.

It seems to be a “social contagion” that is hitting the celebrity world especially hard. MOST celebrities are attention junkies - hence their pursuit of a life as the center of attention. Given that the need for parental attention is normal - and maybe critical - for raising healthy children, how hard is it to be a celebrity child, competing with your our parent, and sometimes parents, for attention?

why’s his DAD supporting crazy behavior. I’m guessing mom’s the push behind it.

Absolutely not. It's the stepmom, you mean. The real mom sued to try to prevent the transition. He walked all over her in the divorce and took her kids from her—because he could.

HE doesn't look good in that outfit!

But that little pleated skirt means he doesn't have to tuck.
