Summary

Seventeen Magazine has done a cover feature on Zaya Wade, the 17-year-old trans child of NBA star Dwayne Wade and stepchild of actress Gabrielle Union, to gush about his experience as a trans person. The magazine is pedestalizing him as an inspiration for trans youth not long after his parents won an award for their trans advocacy on his behalf.
