In a recent interview with Variety, the X-Men star explained that his daughter’s gender identity was never a “big deal” for their family. “Kai has always been Kai,” he said. “The only time I realized it more ‘institutionally’ was when she asked us to change her pronouns. And again, it didn’t feel like a shock. She’s always been so feminine, everything had already been said silently.” <\/p>\n\n

More important than his words was his attitude: an authentic example of acceptance without drama, without exaggeration, without the parents’ “identity crisis.” “My daughter is a fighter,” he declared proudly. <\/p>\n\n

Speaking as a father and not a star, he sent a message to all parents who may be struggling to accept their children’s diversity: “Teenagers are difficult, whether they’re transgender or not. Kai is not a ‘problem’. She’s just… a teenager. And she’s wonderful just the way she is.”<\/p>\n\n

Schreiber even joined her at the Ali Forney Center gala \u2014 an organization that supports homeless LGBTQ+ youth \u2014 to support a cause that he describes with absolute clarity: “We’re not just talking about visibility. We’re talking about survival. For kids who have been rejected, who have no voice, no support, no family.”<\/p>\n\n

And when asked why he participates, the answer is bluntly honest: “Because there are people out there who need our help. Simple as that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
