Dwyane Wade Opens up About
Supporting His Child’s Gender Identity.
During a recent appearance on
‘All the Smoke,' Dwyane Wade revealed
how proud he is to support his child, Zion. .
Zion, who is 12 years old, prefers to be
addressed with feminine pronouns, and
Wade is proud of her “strength and courage.”.
First of all, you want to talk about
strength and courage, my 12-year-old
has way more than I have … You can
learn something from your kids, Dwyane Wade, on ‘All the Smoke’ .
According to Wade, watching Zion "come into”
her own pushed him to examine his role as a parent. .
Me and my wife are having conversations about,
you know, us noticing that, you know, [Zion]
wasn’t on the boy vibe that Zaire was on. And I
had to look myself in the mirror … 'What are you
going to do? How are you going to be? How are
you going to act?’ It It’s about you. Who are you?, Dwyane Wade, on ‘All the Smoke’ .
Ultimately, Wade accepted Zion and knows
it is his job to “educate [himself] more.”.
And for me… nothing changes in my love.
Nothing changes in my responsibilities. So,
all I had to do now is get smarter, educate
myself more. And that’s my job, Dwyane Wade, on ‘All the Smoke’
