In an interview with Page Six, Stodden said, “For the longest time I would sit in the shadows and watch brave souls like Elliot Page, Sam Smith, and other mainstream celebrities come out. I knew I felt the same as them, but I was afraid I would be ignored because I present as high-femme non-binary.” Stodden also credits non-binary fans who helped them “live my truth fearlessly regardless of my presentation.”
In their coming-out post on Instagram last Wednesday, Stodden wrote, “I’ve never felt like I ever fit in anywhere. […] And still, i don’t fit in. I never really connected with anyone my age. My spirit is fluid with a kaleidoscope of color.”
Another successful day of people everywhere doing gender.
