Candace Owens Attacks Dwyane Wade’s Parenting Over Trans Daughter: ‘There Was an Absence of Masculinity in That Child’s Life’
Former NBA superstar Dwyane Wade is usually celebrated for the unwavering support of his transgender daughter. But Candace Owens used Wade’s 13-year-old daughter as an opportunity to lash out at his parenting.
“His son now says that he is a woman and Dwyane Wade is…’this is who he’s always been.’ No it’s not!” Owens ranted about Wade’s daughter Zara. “You’re not going to tell me that your child is wearing long nine-inch nails and a belly shirt because that’s just how they came out.”
“Did he learn if from Instagram? Did he learn it in school? Did he learn it in a music video? Your child learned this behavior because there was an absence of masculinity in that child’s life and that makes sense for a basketball player,” Owens hypothesized.
A professional athlete who dominated on a court of men with superhero-like physical strength, Wade’s genuine support for Zara has been deemed a step in the right direction for public perception of the transgender community.
Wade and his wife Gabrielle Union have been open about raising their 13-year-old trans daughter, who came out last year. The couple became a strong ally of the LGBTQ community, using their Wade Family Foundation to fund support.
