The ball is Dwayne Wade’s court as he fights ex wife to change Zaya’s identity legally!
Dwayne Wade is asking courts to allow his transgender child Zaya, to live her best life by legally changing their name and gender. According to TMZ Sports, “A court order affirming her identity will allow Zaya to live more comfortably and honestly in all aspects of her life – from simple introductions and food orders, to applying for a drivers license and filling out college applications”. Dwayne also added in the court documents “This petition is about allowing Zaya to take on milestones as a young adult with confidence and joy”.
Zaya’s mother and Dwayne’s ex-wife, Dr. Siovaughn Wade, is the founder of A Woman’s Worth Foundation, a Christian Ministry. She alleges that Dwayne is only attempting to change Zaya’s gender and name for financial opportunities. Zaya has taken the modeling world by storm recently and has posed for clients like high end retailer Tiffany & Company. She is completely against the change and waiting for her day in court.
Do you think Dwayne is doing the right thing by changing Zaya’s identity legally? Do you think 15 years old is too young to know what you really want in life?
