Click inside to see their quotes from the issue… On gender fluidity: “In my mind, gender just isn’t something that feels fixed and I don’t know if it ever will be; there might always be some fluidity there for me.” On using they/them pronouns: “I feel much more seen when I’m referred to as ‘they,’ but my closest friends, they will call me ‘she,’ and I don’t mind, because I know they know me.” On using their platform to build a queer community: “If you have a platform and you’re able to use it, that’s obviously so important — and I met some incredible people through it.” On the support of their family after coming out: “I started dating a girl and told my mum, and then my little brother DM’d me saying, ‘Hey, I wanted to say welcome, because I’ve been bi for ages.’ ” On the younger generation’s ability to easily accept fluidity: “The next generation is so much more chill.
They are finding a way to express themselves which is less binary in a very organic way. While we’re almost caught in between.” On the challenges of portraying traditional gender roles as a non-binary person: “I remember struggling with having to wear bras in Chatterley and as Marion, but it’s quite difficult, because I’m not Emma, right?
I’m an actor, and I have a job to do. My dresser and I really had a laugh about me putting on these 1960s bras.” On returning to the stage: “Theater is where I started acting, and returning to it feels like coming home.
