Robert De Niro, a Hollywood actor from Los Angeles, said that he “loves and supports” his daughter Airyn, who has come out as transgender, just as much as he does his son Aaron.

“As my daughter, I love and support Airyn just as much as I loved and supported Aaron as my son. In a statement to Variety.com, Robert De Niro said, “I don’t know what the big deal is.”

“I love all of my children,” he said.

In an interview with the magazine Them, Airyn De Niro spoke about “stepping into this new identity.” She also discussed her upbringing as one of the seven children in the De Niro family.

“Being visible is not the same as being seen,” said Airyn De Niro. “I’ve been noticeable. I don’t believe anybody has seen me yet.

“No parent is perfect, but I am grateful that both of my parents agreed to keep me out of the limelight,” she said. They have expressed their desire for me to grow up as normally as possible.

Airyn De Niro spoke about the reasons for her decision to go public with her transition in the same interview. The actress Laverne Cox was one of them.
