When someone asked her how she deals with being queer, she wrote and replied: “It took a long time, longer than it should have. There was no way to understand my sexuality, all my friends were heterosexual.
“But I always knew I was missing something… It was hard at first and sometimes I got scared and upset.
“I thought there was something wrong with me, but as I got older, I learned that no matter what I did or experienced, I was perfect just the way I am.”
Say it: Now she said she would prefer her son to choose a career path other than Nicola, preferably “nothing means someone is trying to beat you up”

She later shared how she hoped to be a girl so she could have a “mini-me” but was looking forward to having a child and teaching her about life.

“All my friends have boys and I’m like, ‘Yes!’ I said. when i found it. It’s really nice to finally have a baby on the way. All the ups and downs in the end were worth it.

She later wrote on Instagram: “We were reluctant to make a statement, but decided this was the perfect opportunity to show the downside of ‘gender disclosures’ and the gender stereotypes they could amplify.
