“The support has still been nonstop from him, and I’m so grateful,” the 30-year-old told Them in a follow-up interview to the publication’s April interview.
“He was talking about how happy he was for me,” Airyn said of Robert, 82, “because I have an amazing boyfriend who he’s met, and [he said], ‘You have somebody who loves you for you, and you don’t need to change yourself for anybody.’”
Recently the father-daughter duo were in a therapy session, discussing her transition. “He said, ‘There’s no other thing to do than accept your kid for who they are and where they decide to go in life,’” recalled Airyn. “He’s very good at being a dad and, not just that, [but also] accepting people from all walks of life.”
She added that at the two-time Oscar winner’s “ripe old age, he’s not even setting a high bar. It’s just like, that should be the standard.”

That’s really nice🥰
As it should be. If you can’t love your kids for who they are, don’t have kids.
I like the ending sentence especially – it’s great for a parent to accept their child’s identity, but that should be standard
