Keiynan Lonsdale: I'm not a he, I'm a "tree"

Keiynan Lonsdale, who has appeared in Love, Simon and Legends of Tomorrow, wanted to clear up any confusion about his sexuality.

He revealed that his sexuality is fluid.

"I’m still surprised I get this question," he mused during an Instagram livestream. "I came out last year as not straight. Now it just depends on the day, sometimes I’m bisexual, sometimes I’m gay, sometimes I feel straight, sometimes I’m not anything. It doesn’t matter. Either way, through all that, I’m Keiynan. So if your question is, 'Am I Keiynan?' yes, I am Keiynan."

He also took the time to address his gender identity.

"OK, this might sound stupid, but I don’t care. I don’t think this is offensive… but, I don’t want to go by 'he' anymore, I just want to go by 'tree.' I want people to call me “tree” because we all come from trees, so it doesn’t matter if you’re a he or a she or they or them. At the end of the day, everyone’s a tree.

"I want to call my friends tree, and me tree, and every one tree. So, I think like when people ask me what my preferred pronoun is, I’m going to say tree. I’m not high by the way, this is just me."

Ah, youth! We're sure that anyone who is actually dealing with issues of gender loves that he can be so flippant about the issue. We assume this is one of those things that, with a lot of maturing, he'll look back at and cringe.

But maybe that's just us.
