She clarified: “Trans women’s candor and openness, particularly [in] public settings like social media and witnessing their achievements… “You know what?” I ask. Perhaps I still have time. I might be able to begin.
Following Airyn’s declaration, De Niro talked to People about his response to her worries that her family would “maybe still think of [her] as the person [she] was before the transition.”
By declaring that he had always “loved and supported” his child, the actor made it apparent that his sentiments for Airyn had not altered in the slightest.
“I love and support Airyn as my daughter,” he added. I have no idea why this is such a huge deal. I adore every one of my kids.
Airyn commended her parents in her interview for keeping her “out of the limelight,” stating that they wanted her early years to be “very private.”
