Last month, Wade spoke about what “unconditional love” means to him as a parent, revealing that he’s a “great mentor” to his children.

“I don’t want to just be one of those people who is just committed to Zaya and she doesn’t feel open and confident in me,” he continued. “I want to show her what unconditional love looks like so she can use me as this sounding board throughout her life.”
“I feel like it’s shown in Zaya,” Wade added. “That’s shown in Zaya all over the world because she’s part of the trans community.”

They told me that for a long time.’ But my job is also to move things forward. And if that means receiving criticism or death threats… that’s part of the journey.”
