Dwyane Wade praises son's 'courage,' growth into who 'she now …

The former professional basketball player, married to Gabrielle Union, praised his son Zion for being authentic.

“You wanna talk about strength and courage, my 12-year-old has way more than I have.

Wade advised those who are unsupportive to take a look at themselves in the mirror, something he said he had to do himself.

Using a different pronoun to refer to his son, Wade continued, “I watched my son, from day one, become into who she now eventually has come into.”

Wade’s support has garnered positive attention from others, including 2020 Democratic hopeful Julián Castro.
