Emma changed her preferred pronouns from “she/her” to “she/it” in 2021 and has since spoken about the topic several times.
In a new interview with The Telegraph, they said: “I’m absolutely delighted to be dealing with it now and not 10 years ago. I know a lot of gay actors who have taken a long time to come out because they were worried, but I didn’t think about it.
Emma added: “I don’t mind if people misinterpret my pronouns, that’s fine.
“Just try, then I’ll correct you where necessary and we’ll move forward along the way. It doesn’t happen overnight.”

It comes after Emma said earlier this week that they hoped awards shows such as the Oscars and BAFTAs would introduce gender-neutral categories.
Emma insisted in a new interview that the awards as they are now are not “inclusive enough” and said the change they hoped would allow everyone to feel “recognised and represented”.
Emma said that better representation in roles in the entertainment industry was needed to promote “an urgency” to tackle the issue.

Emma won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Princess Diana in season 4 of the hit Netflix drama and is starring in two high-profile films this year, Policeman and Lady Chatterley’s Lover.
Speaking to the BBC Today program about the possibility of gender-neutral categories at major awards shows, Emma said: “I hope for a future where that happens.
“I think the categories are not comprehensive enough at the moment. It’s about everyone feeling recognized and represented.”
Emma added that more representation in entertainment industry roles was needed to encourage “more urgency” to address the issue.
Role: Emma is currently preparing to take the stage in an adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s novel Orlando, published in 1928, which explores gender identity (pictured during rehearsals).
The Crown star asked: “When it comes to categories, do we have to be specific about whether you’re nominated for a female or male role?
“You can praise and debate the representation there, but the conversation should really be about more representation in the case itself, in the content we see, for non-binary people, for queer people, for trans people, because then I think I would .” it’s going to change a lot.
“As these roles emerge, which means more people and more actors playing these roles, I think there will be more urgency to answer these questions.”
Emma has publicly identified as non-binary since 2021 and has publicly shared her journey with her gender identity on social media.

The actor told The Today Program: “Your gender identity has so much to do with how you feel and it’s so connected to how you see or want to be seen by people and it can be very triggering or uncomfortable for you to feel like you’re being considered fair or correct when you do so.
“I think it was necessary for me to be open and honest about it, because otherwise I would have felt misunderstood.”
The movie star added that they weren’t worried that revealing their gender identity would limit the kind of roles they would get in the future.
Emma explained: “I will never sacrifice integrity or honesty for work I get or don’t get,” they said.
“Being non-binary is in no way a rejection of femininity or my femininity. This is a way to embrace it.
“I still want to play women. My experience on this earth was a female experience – and now it’s kind of a very fluid experience.”
Emma is currently preparing to take the stage in an adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s novel Orlando, published in 1928, which deals with gender identity.
