Zaya who was
born Zion opened up to Gabrielle Union and his father Dwyane Wade about his
sexuality.
Gabrielle
Union has introduced her transgender child to the world as she thanked
supporters for encouraging her family in their decision to support the child.
The decision
of the 12-year old who now identifies as a female was welcomed by parents who
urged him on.
Gabrielle
Union introduced Zaya on Twitter saying, “Meet Zaya. “She’s compassionate,
loving, whip smart and we are so proud of her. It’s Ok to listen to, love &
respect your children exactly as they are. Love and light good people”.
A video which
she shared showed Zaya saying, “I would say, just be true to yourself — what’s
the point of being on this earth if you’re going to try and be someone you’re
not… be true and don’t really care what the stereotypical way of being you is.”
“Even when
people are being mean, and when people are getting hurt because they’re trying
to be themselves and even through that you still want people to live their truth?”
Wade asks his daughter.
“I know it
can get tough, but I think you push through and be the best you. It’s become
more accepting. … Even through hard times you gotta push through, it’s very
worth it. When you can look in the mirror and say ‘hi’ to yourself,” Zaya adds.
