Jamie Lee Curtis Gives Her Oscar They/Them Pronouns in Support of Her Trans Daughter
Jamie Lee Curtis is using her Oscar moment to show support for her trans daughter, Ruby.Following her emotional win at Sunday's awards show, Curtis was a guest on Tuesday's show, where she shared that she gave her Best Supporting Actress statuette they/them pronouns.
The revelation came when she responded to a question from hosts Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie, that implied the Oscars statuette was female.«Have we named her?» Guthrie asked, to which Curtis responded, «I'm in support of my daughter, Ruby.
I'm having them be a they/them. I'm going to just call them them. They/them, and they are doing great, they're settling in, and I just, in my life, I never thought in a million years that I'd have this couple days, and I'm very moved by the whole thing.»The topic of de-gendering the awards show is something the 64-year-old Oscar winner touched on Sunday while in the press room following her big win. «I would like to see a lot more women be nominated so there's gender parity in all the branches.
We're getting there, we're not anywhere near there. The inclusivity involves the bigger question, which is, how do you include everyone?» the star told reporters backstage. «As the mother of a trans daughter, I understand that.
