“I guess my gender has always been very fluid,” Ramsey said speaking to the outlet. “Someone would call me ‘she’ or ‘her’ and I wouldn’t think about it, but I knew that if someone called me ‘he’ it was a bit exciting.”

Then adding that they choose non-binary on forms when given the option.

 

When it comes to pronouns, Ramsey said she doesn’t really have a preference. “I’m very much just a person,” she said. “Being gendered isn’t something that I particularly like, but in terms of pronouns, I really couldn’t care less.”
