"I’m so proud of my son Samuel Joseph Mozes (called Seph) who graduated college this month," Nixon wrote. "I salute him and everyone else marking today’s #TransDayofAction. #TDOA."
Nixon had Samuel, born Samantha Mozes, with her ex-husband Danny Mozes, along with her 15-year-old son Charles Ezekiel Mozes. She also has a 7-year-old named Max Ellington Nixon-Marinoni with her wife, Christine Marinoni.
