This is an example of someone who deserves to be called a parent- no matter what your beliefs are, the kids come first. Thank you for helping people love their children, sir; it's such an important thing to me and so many others

" Take care of my kid... " My favorite part.

He's a real man & his daughter is a real woman. Respect

"My name is Wayne Maines and I live in Portland, Maine, and we moved domain..." - LMAO great rhyming!!! <3

I'm a trans woman too and really loved listening to this supportive dad!

Thank you for who you are, Wayne. I'm a trans woman with a religious conservative family, and they are struggling with my identity. Because I love and respect and trust them so much, it makes it hard for me to accept myself, though I am trying. Thank you so much for working so hard to expand your concept of love, it's a hard thing to do. Your daughter is the first trans superhero on TV, but as far as I'm concerned you are a superhero too ❤️
-
Such an eloquent father. Thank you, Dad, for your service, your family & your love for all.

In the UK, Nicole would have protected under the Equality Act (2010). Trans people must be allowed to use the bathroom of their identified gender in Britain. I hope this comes to the US soon.

My wife and I are going through the same thing. I believe that if a child is up front about who they are and want to be that they should have that right. I believe that parents should support their children and love them no matter what.

Me watching this 3 years later knowing Nicole is now is Supergirl.
-
She from supergirl I thought she was just trans on supergirl I didn’t know she was tran’s in real life
-
Nicole is such a role-model for me, even though I'm so much older.

After watching this video, I have the greatest of respect for her father. He overcame his fears and supported her. I hope they can stay safe.

One of the most amazing family you could ever meet. I am honored to have met them when Nicole and to camp with my niece.

Pax Vobiscum Wayne, and to your whole family. I truly hope people will understand what you've said and I hope for a long and happy life for your entire family and for all others, no matter their identity.
