ONTD Original: 4 Celebrities That Have Come Out As Non-Binary

With transgender issues now receiving much more visibility and advocacy, I figured I would make a post about four celebrities that have come out as non-binary. If you don't know what non-binary gender is, you can read about it here. Also, you should know that the modern definition of 'transgender' includes non-binary people, so please don't ever correct a non-binary person if they identify as transgender too.

Ruby Rose
Identifies as genderfluid
Pronouns: She/Her(s)




You may know her from her breakout role on season three of 'Orange Is the New Black', but Ruby Rose has become one of the most prominent non-binary celebrities after coming out as genderfluid last year with a short film. And since starring on 'Orange Is the New Black', she's gained even more notoriety. Expect to see more of her in the future.



Angel Haze
Identifies as agender
Pronouns: They/Them




You probably know them from their feud with Azealia Banks, but Angel originally received attention for their song 'Cleaning Out My Closet', where they rap about sexual abuse from their childhood. Recently, they came out as agender via Twitter. And most recently, they had a guest appearance on MTV's Catfish. Expect great things from them in the future.

Tyler Ford
Identifies as agender
Pronouns: They/Them




Most known for being a contestant on 'The Glee Project'. They came out as agender via a blog post on MTV.com. Recently accompanied Miley Cyrus to the amfAR Inspiration Gala. They're also a poet and a photographer.

Tom Phelan
Identifies as non-binary
Pronouns: He/Him/His




The actor who plays Cole, a trans teen boy, on ABC Family's 'The Fosters' came out as non-binary last year. While his pronouns were reported as they/them, his pronouns on his tumblr are listed as 'he/him/his'.

Note: I only listed celebrities that have come out as non-binary. I know some celebrities have made statements about gender fluidity before (Tilda Swinton, Miley Cyrus, Steven Tyler, and others), but I never saw them use the words 'non-binary', so I only looked up celebrities who came out and stated clearly that they were non-binary.
