It's however great that an onscreen voice such as Wendy is one of those who are as supportive as Gabrielle and Dwyane.

The topic's closure settled on the cyber trolls and critics who are oblivious of the fact that Zaya made a decision a lot of adults cannot make.

In that same interview, Zaya's dad explained to Ellen how she boldly walked up to them in the house to consolidate her stand on being called "Zaya" from "Zion."

Gabrielle proved herself by updating a clip of her man and Zaya on Twitter, where Zaya tried to reach out and affirm the change.

Her captivating caption showed that nothing, not even a change of sex, would affect the love and affection she feels for the younger Wade.

Irrespective of the negative comments from some of her fans on Twitter, Gabrielle remains strong and dedicated to helping Zaya become her best self.

Zaya's wonderful parents are concerned with building a strong personality with acceptance, rather than shut out the opinions of their child.

It is however great that an onscreen voice such as Wendy is one of those who are as supportive as Gabrielle and Dwyane.
