Zaya legally changed her name and gender in February after coming out as trans aged 12, following a court battle between Wade and his ex-wife, Siohvaughn Funches-Wade.
A Los Angeles County judge signed off on the new identity for Dwyane's 15-year-old child in documents obtained by TMZ.
The judge also granted her official gender change from male to female. The petition for the name and gender was filed last August. Last November, Zaya's mother contested the petition made by Wade, claiming that their child was being pressured financially to make the decision.
Some context for those that can't make out anything other than people yelling?
Sorry about that.
Basketball player Dwyane Wade has a tranny son (or two).
He's always talking about muh black lives matter and muh transphobia.
He recently said he moved out of Florida because of all the anti-tranny laws (even though he hasn't lived in Florida for years) (link)
Thanks, these Florida laws are the biggest self report since they aren't 'anti trans' just 'you can't act sexual around kids or maim kids'
NP and I really should have offered an explanation.
Anyway, it's also one of the rare instances where the mother is fighting to prevent the child from transitioning.
