Dwayne Wade has discussed his child's gender journey after his son Zion, 12, made the decision to identify as female and now goes by the name Zaya.

 

The basketball pro, 38, spoke candidly in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, which is set to air Tuesday, in which he further discussed parenting Zaya as well as revealing he sought help in the cast of Pose for help with addressing the situation.

me says... pollution of water, air, food is to thank for this mix-up

 

20 years ago, we knew male frogs in polluted water turned into female behavior...

 

planned parenthood SOFT KILL =  overpopulation problem
