Robert De Niro’s 29-year-old son Airyn (formerly Aaron) has come out as transgender after beginning hormone treatment in 2024.
Born via surrogate with the acclaimed actor’s ex-girlfriend Toukie Smith, Airyn told Them magazine that hormone treatment into becoming a woman began in 2024.
“I think a big part of [my transition] is also the influence Black women have had on me,” said Airyn. “I think stepping into this new identity, while also being more proud of my Blackness, makes me feel closer to them in some way.”
Airyn said that both Robert De Niro and Toukie Smith have been supportive since the transition began.
“Obviously, no parent is perfect, but I am grateful that both my parents agreed to keep me out of the limelight,” said Airyn. “They wanted it very private; they have told me they wanted me to have as much of a normal childhood as possible.”
“I wasn’t brought up having a side part in one of dad’s movies or going to business meetings or attending premieres. My dad was very big on us finding our own sort of path. I would want [success] to happen on my own merit,” Airyn added.

Airyn has always been a woman. Hormone replacement is (one of the) treatments for body dysphoria.
This is a breitbart article. Of course it isn’t accurate.
If you hate yourself and your mental health, do peruse the comment section of this article. It’s really good for losing faith in humanity.
Yikes that was painful - I find it quite entertaining how magas have like 3 phrases memorized and will just shout them out over and over again (with some bible verses about the rapture sprinkled in) - it’s just strange to peek into comments like those and see how literally nothing in their lives has changed in the past 10 years - the world has moved on but they’re still stuck in 2014 4chan mode…
They care more about toilet design than literal toilet architects. It’s almost funny.
OP is a Republicunt troll. Block and move on.
I am not trolling anyone - I am submitting & interacting with content in good faith. I treat Lemmy as a place to find & deposit articles that I think are worthwhile and build a personal archive. You’ll find an abnormal amount of my content is actually just crime articles.
I am not here to aggravate people.
But feel free to block - if it is offensive to people that someone is a conservative on Lemmy and occasionally posts content from conservative sources, lol, what can I say? I guess you will be triggered if an article pops into your feed once in a while.
Although I imagine that some people who are even not in agreement with me at all about these issues were happy to see this news and would’ve otherwise missed it.
These stories are so sad.
huh? how so? she’s figuring out what she wants from life and her parents are supportive of that, seems pretty wholesome? or did you mean the losers in the comments just being weird and nasty? that is pretty sad I agree
No, it’s that she has a mental condition, might end up doing physical damage to her body, and is probably being encouraged to do so rather than getting proper treatment for her issues.

googoo gaga behavior
