Janelle Monae Explains Her Views On Identifying As Non-Binary

Monáe responded to Cagle, explaining her gender beliefs, “I think it’s all about honoring your truth and authenticity, and whatever that looks like.”

The “Antebellum” actor continued, “I’m not this arrogant person who thinks I have all the answers, so I think for me, it’s about making sure I also say to people, ‘Investigate more who are you,’ you know?”

For those questioning their gender, Monáe has some advice for them. The “Make me feel” singer said, “Allow yourself to discover something new about yourself. Open your mind to possibilities, and listen to people who say, ‘This is me. This is what I feel like inside and out.'”

The “Glass Onion” actress later revealed that her approach to gender identity is necessary because “as we grow as humanity, because we understand more about gender, because we understand more about sexuality,” Monáe added, “So I just keep an open mind about all that.”

Fans will recall that the eight-time Grammy Award nominee spoke about her gender last year. The Blast documented that the singer confirmed her gender status while on an episode of “Red Table Talk.”

“I’m non-binary,” Monáe revealed to the host. “So, I don’t see myself as a woman or — just. You know, I feel all my energy.” This announcement confirms speculation about the artist’s identity.

Monáe went on to add that her gender does not stop her from supporting women in their fight against some societal issues.

In the words of the songwriter, “I will always stand with women. I will always stand with black women, but I just see everything that I am outside the binary.

As the conversation unfolded, the rapper shared his perspective on how he sees others differently, choosing to see people’s energy rather than their identity. According to him, this kind of perspective allows one to “fall in love with a beautiful spirit.”

However, in the conversation, the “Harriet” actress highlighted her opinion that God is bigger than gender, and if she is from God, then she is more.
