When did Bella Ramsey come out as non-binary?

Ramsey came out as nonbinary last year, telling The New York Times, “I think my gender has always been very fluid. Someone would call me ‘she’ or ‘her’ and I wouldn’t think about it, but I knew if someone called me ‘he,’ it was a little bit exciting.”

They added that they would select the ‘non-binary’ option. ‘Being gender-queer isn’t something I particularly enjoy, but when it comes to pronouns, I really don’t give a damn.’

What is the plot of Boys don’t cry?

Boys don’t cry is a drama that tells the true story of a young trans man.

It’s a heartbreaking story about Brandon Teena, played by Hilary Swank, trying to find himself in rural Nebraska, and his relationship with aspiring singer Lana (Chloë Sevigny). As the story progresses, he becomes the victim of a brutal hate crime.

The film received mixed reviews upon release, but is today recognized as a culturally significant moment in LGBTQ+ cinema, and Swank won the Oscar for Best Actress in 2000. But she has since said that more authentic casting would have better suited the role.

In 2020, she told Variety: “Twenty-one years later, trans people not only have their own lives and are living happily, (although) we still have a long way to go in terms of their safety and inclusivity.

“We now have a group of transgender actors who would clearly be much more suited to the role and would be given the opportunity to actually audition.”
