CNN —Dwyane Wade is firing back after his ex-wife, Siohvaughn Funches-Wade, accused him of trying to exploit their transgender daughter, Zaya, by applying for a legal name and gender change for the teen. She is requesting that Zaya wait until “the age of majority” before being able to attain a gender and name change. “This is her life!”Wade and Funches-Wade, who are the parents of two children, married in 2002 and divorced in 2010. In his social media post, Wade alleges that Funches-Wade is an absentee parent to Zaya, who was 12 years old in 2020 when she went public with being transgender. “Siohvaughn has decided to pretty much be an absent parent to Zaya ALL ON HER OWN,” he wrote.

As a result, Funches-Wade argued Wade violated their custody agreement and asked the Los Angeles court to reject the name-change petition. Zaya came out as trans in 2020, and Wade has been publicly supportive of her in multiple interviews since then. “Petitioner has appeared on national television shows and in media reports regarding our child’s name and gender change. “There are genuinely people out there who think that you’re a kid, this is a phase, or you don’t actually know what you’re talking about,” Zaya told Logo. We are who we are.”Neither Wade’s representative nor Funches-Wade’s attorney immediately responded to NBC News request for comment.
