In a Friday ruling filed in Los Angeles's Superior Court, former professional basketball star Dwyane Wade's 15-year-old transgender child was reportedly granted name and gender changes, according to court documents.
Wade's child, a biological male, is now legally recognized as a female. The teenager's name has legally been changed from Zion Malachi Airamis Wade to Zaya Malachi Airamis Wade. The child is from his marriage with ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches, whom he divorced in 2010.
“I contend that our child should be given the opportunity to decide for themselves at the age of majority if they want to move forward with changing their name and/or gender,” the child's mother said in court documents.In previous court documents, Funches alleged that she believed Wade"may be pressuring our child to move forward with the name and gender change in order to capitalize on the financial opportunities that he has received from companies.
"These are serious and harmful allegations that have hurt our children," Wade responded to her claims on Instagram in November.
