Amandla Stenberg is opening up about the archaic idea of “gender norms.”
The 18-year-old actress believes gender “can be pretty much whatever you want it to be.”
“I tend to believe that gender as we’ve set it up in current-day society doesn’t actually exist,” they told People. “I’ve said before that I’m comfortable with using the pronouns ‘they’ or ‘them’ alongside ‘she’ and ‘her’ just because that’s a conversation that’s important to me.”
The young starlet added, “I don’t necessarily always subscribe to female pronouns just because I don’t think that pronouns are necessarily very meaningful.”
