Izaak Theo Adu, the 23-year-old son of iconic singer Sade, has posted a moving Instagram posting thanking his mom for her support.
Izaak came out as trans in 2016. Since that time he has been documenting his transition on social media.
Earlier this year, Izaak underwent bottom surgery. It’s a complicated process of operations that involves a lengthy recovery time. Not all trans men choose to undergo the procedure.
Six months after surgery, Izaak posted a message on Wednesday that he was finally being allowed home.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“It’s been a long hard road but We did it!! We are coming home!!!!
“Thank you for staying by my side these past 6 months Mumma. Thank you for fighting with me to complete the man I am. Thank you for your encouragement when things are hard, for the love you give me. The purest heart. I love you so much. Queen of queens ♥️”
The accompanying image was of him hugging his mom in a restaurant.

Izaak is the son of Sade Adu and music producer Bob Morgan. He has previously thanked both his parents and friends for their support, as well as sharing details online of his transition.
Sade shot to worldwide fame in the early 1980s with hits including “Smooth Operator” and “Diamond Life”. Her last album was 2010’s “Soldier of Love”.
She is not the only celebrity with a trans child: Cher‘s son Chaz came out as trans in the 2000s. Actress Cynthia Nixon also has a trans son, Seph. In April, actress Charlize Theron revealed one of her children is trans.

Earlier this year, Izaak posted a video to YouTube detailing his experiences as he began the surgical procedure to create a penis (‘phalloplasty’).
In the summer, he posted to Instagram of how challenging the recovery period was proving.
“This process is trying, tiring, painful, emotionally exhausting, physically exhausting, uncomfortable (like I can’t sleep like a normal human being rn lol) I often ask myself “why the fuck do I have to endure this to be who I am” but at the end of the day this is the path that was laid out for me and I’ll walk it to the end.
“My dad always says “keep your eyes on the horizon” and that’s what I do because through all this pain is the comfort that it’s not forever and I have the rest of my life ahead of me and I am so, SO DAMN EXCITED.”

On a previous post I questioned the importance of that boob-job imbecile daughter of our Manchurian Candidate president getting precedence over Sade’s son but a video involving a syringe, blood and his looking nearly nude (I had to pause the video three times to be sure there wasn’t something dangling and it turns out what I was looking at was the end of a towel wrapped around him as he bent over that sink) wasn’t exactly what I had in mind. But hey, if NO videos of him and his mom exists and thats what they chose then that is what they chose. I ask you WHERE are….you know what, I’m not going to go there. Lets hope if Grace Jones’ son decides to follow the leaders his VIDEO will include his mom in it to show that some celeb moms support their trans children. Its amazing I’m the only one who seems to catch certain obvious slights such as this. Ok Querty’s amen crew, now is your chance to shoot ol’ Bob down again.

“Sade shot to worldwide fame in the early 1980s with hits including ‘Smooth Operator’ and ‘Diamond Life’. Her last album was 2010’s ‘Soldier of Love’.”
— Firstly, there’s no such Sade song as “Diamond Life.” That’s actually the name of her debut album. Secondly, you said “her” last album was released in 2010.
Sade Adu is not a solo artist. She’s the lead singer of a band called “Sade”, alongside Stu Matthewman, Paul Denman and Andrew Hale. THEIR last album was released in 2010. :-p
