All three of these things can be true.
1- The Wades open them up for public criticism because they publicly have decided to make Zaya Wade the face for young transgender boys and girls.
2- People’s opinions don’t matter, because it isn’t their child.
3- We have absolutely no idea what is going on in that household. Good, bad, or ugly.
Dwyane Wade spoke to the guys at The Pivot about what he thought when he first notice that Zaya was into girl things and he stated that he didn’t think it was a big deal because he wore heels and dresses when he was a kid. Whatever his sisters did that is what he did.
Critics of Wade would argue that he was allowed to grow up and decide his sexuality (who knows what he decided but that is another story for another day). Zaya at a very young age was allowed by her parents to start the transition from a boy to a girl.
Some people applauded that progressive decision and others thought that was far too young for a child to make such a major decision.
The latest controversy was the Wades showing publicly Zaya kissing her boyfriend who is also trans during Easter.
Dwayne Wade’s trans daughter Zaire, now, Zaya, has a new trans boyfriend and in a photo that has gone viral, she shared a passionate kiss with him right in front of her dad, Dwyane, and stepmom Gabrielle Union. According to MTO News, Zaya’s new trans boyfriend is named Hudson.
As you can imagine this has the internet in shambles debating if this is appropriate or not.
Interestingly it isn’t the trans part that a lot of people are pointing out, it is should your 14-year-old son or daughter should be dating this seriously at such a young age, but that is a debatable point.
What is your opinion on Wade saying he used to wear heels as well?
