"My children are my life,"
"Everything I want to do is to show them that they're loved and appreciated. I try to see things through their eyes."
"Because, when you're two-spirit, you're born that way, right? Your brain comes pre-programmed. It's like a computer. So I was like, yeah, that makes perfect sense to me."
"I knew," with a smile. "His entire life up until 13, I just knew. He was always a tomboy, and his twin is a diva."
Jada Yee, a straight man of First Nation and Chinese descent, performs as a drag queen and is a father to four young adult children, two of whom are transgender. When his daughter Jill came out in her late 20s, he joined parent support groups for education and to show support. He later recognized his son’s trans identity and was prepared. Yee adopted the drag name Chyna B. Deadly and joined Walk the Walk in 2023, raising funds for Lulu's Lodge, which supports queer and trans young adults who have been kicked out of their homes. He emphasizes love, understanding, and seeing life through his children's eyes.
