With controversy at its highest capacity about Dwayne Wade and how supports his daughter Zaya. He has decided to take his support to a different type of level. It is reported that the former NBA Champion and Part-Owner of the Utah Jazz has officially filed a petition to get Zaya Wade’s name and gender permanently changed legally.

According to The Blast reports, “Dwyane also asked that the court legally issues a decree recognizing that the minors’ gender is changed to “female.” It specifically cites the reason for the change as “to conform with gender identity.”

The petition filed in Los Angeles Superior Court states that he has full authority to enact decisions on his daughter’s behalf. Wade has publicly stated to CNN reports, “As blessed as it is for my daughter to have parents who can support her, I’m still afraid every moment she leaves the house.” He’s also added, “And not just because of gun violence, but because of the way people perceive her in this world.”
