Robert De Niro: A Heartfelt Show of Support for His Transgender Daughter

Hollywood icon Robert De Niro expresses unwavering love and backing for his transgender daughter Airyn De Niro.


In a candid revelation, De Niro emphasizes family support amidst ongoing discussions surrounding transgender rights.



In a recent interview with the LGBTQ+ publication Them, Robert De Niro openly voiced his unwavering support for his daughter, Airyn, who recently came out as transgender. Airyn, who is 29 years old, discussed her journey of embracing a new identity as a transgender woman, marking an emotional milestone in her life.

De Niro shared his sentiments in a statement to Variety, expressing, "I loved and supported Aaron as my son, and now I love and support Airyn as my daughter." He further remarked, "I don't know what the big deal is. I love all my children."

Airyn elaborated on her transition journey, noting her past as a visible figure yet yearning to be truly seen. "I've been visible. I don't think I've been seen yet," she remarked, highlighting the struggle for affirmation within the LGBTQ+ community. She also cited actress Laverne Cox as a significant inspiration and expressed her desire to contribute to trans visibility while honoring her black queer ancestors.

Reflecting on her upbringing as one of De Niro's seven children, Airyn expressed appreciation for her parents' efforts to provide her with a "normal" childhood by keeping her out of the public eye.

Amidst this personal narrative, the broader societal discourse surrounding transgender rights continues to unfold. Recently, a significant ruling by the UK Supreme Court defining a woman by biological sex has ignited debates over gender equality and rights for transgender individuals. Lord Hodge, a judge who happens to be transgender, noted that the ruling should not be perceived as a victory for one side over the other, reiterating that protections against discrimination for transgender people remain intact.

In another development, a former judge who is transgender plans to challenge the recent ruling in the European Court of Human Rights, highlighting extensive ongoing conversations around the recognition and rights of transgender individuals.

As De Niro stands publicly with his daughter, his support adds a crucial voice to the ongoing fight for trans visibility and acceptance, reinforcing the importance of love and support within families.
