Bella Ramsey opens up about her identity: "I'm not 100% straight"

Bella Ramsay has managed to reach the top of the audiovisual industry at just 19 years old. Despite her young age, she has already participated in different internationally successful projects, such as Game of Thrones, Hilda or The worst witch.

Although all the aforementioned projects were well received and criticized by experts and fans, the young woman of English origin has achieved great international recognition after playing Ellie in the television adaptation of the video game The last of us.

In addition to undeniable talent and a bright future at work, Ramsey has a great inner life and has no problem talking about personal aspects of his day-to-day life with the press.

A few months ago, during an interview with the American outlet The New York Times, Bella came out of the closet by confessing that she considers herself a gender fluid person: “I think my gender has always been fluid. Someone could call me 'she' and I wouldn't think of it, but if someone addresses me as 'he,' it's kind of exciting."

In a recent interview for Vogue's Pride issue, Ramsey reflected on her reality and reaffirmed her gender identity. In addition, she expressed that she feels better when people use the neutral pronoun (they in English) to talk to her, instead of saying he or she.

“I had a lot of anxiety with pronouns. When she first came out The Last of Us, she told me: 'Everyone calls me her because I look like her, so it's okay'. But now that I can express it better, being called they is the most sincere thing for me. That is what I am the most, ”she expressed openly.

He also took advantage of the interview with Vogue to make it clear that his gender identity has nothing to do with his sexual orientation and that he does not consider himself a "one hundred percent heterosexual" person.

“You never quite know who you are, it is a constant evolution. But I certainly think people have realized that I'm not 100 percent straight. I'm a bit 'wavy', you know? That's what I like to say, ”she sincerely stated.

It is very common to see Bella Ramsey move away from the typical gala dresses in the different events she attends, since she prefers to dress in unisex suits and outfits, with which she feels better.

Although he receives a lot of affection on social networks and feels like a "privileged" person for having the support of the LGTBIQ community, many also criticize his way of life and do not accept his gender identity. It should be noted that Ramsey also expressed in the magazine's report that the entire team of the HBO series had behaved very well regarding this issue and that they fully respected her pronouns and her reality.
