Award-winning American singer and actress, Janelle Monae has come out as non-binary in a recent interview on Red Table Talk.
The Grammy nominee was a guest on Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talk, in an episode aired on Facebook on Wednesday, April 22, where she made the revelation.
According to Janelle who appeared on the show with her mother, Janet, since God doesn’t identify as a “he” or “she” because he transcends gender restrictions, then she is also “everything”.
Her words, “I’m nonbinary, so I just don’t see myself as a woman solely. I feel all of my energy.
“I feel like God is so much bigger than the “he” or the “she.” And if I am from God, I am everything. I am everything. But I will always, always stand with women. I will always stand with Black women. But I just see everything that I am. Beyond the binary.”
Although people who identify as non-binary are referred to as “they”, a representative of the singer said she would still continue using she/her pronouns.
Janelle has been very open to sexual and gender modification as in 2018, she came out as pansexual in an interview with Rolling Stone.
“Being a queer black woman in America — someone who has been in relationships with both men and women — I consider myself to be a free-ass motherf****r,” they said.
