Dwyane Wade acusado de ‘presionar’ a su hija trans para que cambie de sexo por dinero

La ex esposa de Dwyane Wade acusó a la ex estrella de la NBA de explotar la identidad de género de su hija trans Zaya para su propio beneficio económico.
Siohvaughn Funches-Wade se opuso a la petición de su exmarido de cambiar legalmente el nombre de la joven de 15 años debido a «múltiples factores» descritos en los documentos judiciales obtenidos por Page Six.
El autor, de 41 años, alega que Wade, de 40 años, “está posicionado para beneficiarse del cambio de nombre y género del niño menor con varias compañías a través de contactos y oportunidades de marketing que incluyen, entre otros, acuerdos con Disney”.
Ella agrega: “Me preocupa que Wade pueda estar presionando a nuestro hijo para que siga adelante con el cambio de nombre y género para capitalizar las oportunidades financieras que ha recibido de las empresas”.
Funches-Wade afirma que durante una reunión de abril de 2022 con Wade en Atlanta, el ex jugador profesional le dijo que «ya se había ganado mucho dinero» en relación con el «problema de nombre y género» de Zaya.
“Wade told me that he intended to make our child very famous due to the name and gender issue and also informed me that there would be endorsements/contracts associated therewith,” the public speaker further alleges.
Funches-Wade then uses her trans daughter’s deadname in the filing, claiming, “Zion, who was present at the time, answered that various companies were interested and that Disney was a prospective company.”
Wade’s ex-wife also alleges in the objection that because Zaya’s transition has been highly publicized, “there will likely be media pressure on the minor child.” She asks that Zaya make this decision for herself when she is “at the age of majority” in two and a half years.
Wade has not filed a response to Funches-Wade’s legal documents. Page Six has reached out to the former couple’s reps and attorneys for comment.
In his original petition filed in August, Wade argued that he had “full authority” to request Zaya’s legal name change without the consent of her mother.
However, the former Miami Heat player stated in the court filing that his ex-wife had “received notice” of his petition “as a courtesy.”
Wade first shared Zaya’s coming out story on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in February 2020, stating that the then-12-year-old told him and his wife, Gabrielle Union, that she was “ready to live her truth” and asked them to refer to her using female pronouns.
On social media, the teen appears to have fully embraced her identity as a trans woman on her own and has included “she/her” pronouns in her bio.
Wade told “GMA” anchor Robin Roberts in February 2020 that Zaya has known her true gender identity “since she was 3 years old.”
In addition to Zaya, Wade and Funches-Wade share a 20-year-old son, Zaire. The athlete also has two younger children: son Xavier, 8, with Aja Metoyer and daughter Kaavia, 3, with Union.
The Blast fue el primero en informar la noticia de la objeción de Funches-Wade.
