Miley Cyrus Admits Her Non-Binary Gender; Considers Bruce Jenner as Her Hero

Just weeks after breaking up with boyfriend Patrick Schwarzenegger, pop singer Miley Cyrus officially came out in the open to admit that she has a non-binary gender and also disclosed that not all of her past romantic and sexual relationships have been with men.

Miley launched her Happy Hippie Foundation on May 6 where she made the revelations about her gender orientation.

Her foundation seeks to help the homeless and other at-risk LBGT youth. It shall be dedicated to helping empower young people like herself who feel that they exist outside the straight, heterosexual gender and sexual orientation spectrum, details Salon.

The “Wrecking Ball” singer said that her attitude towards gender is fluid, and she totally rejects labels and the male-female binary relationship. She added that with the position that she is currently in, she feels like she’s got a lot of power. But many of the LBGT youth do not feel the same way as she does because they all fall under their parents’ rule.

Her hero

Miley Cyrus also referred to newly out transwoman Bruce Jenner as her new hero for daring to transition in public. She also lauded him for blasting open the national dialogue on gender and trans issues.

But unlike Miley, many aver that wealthy and high-profile celebrities are less than ideal models of unorthodox culture. They cited that Bruce Jenner actually raised hackles by subsequently declaring support to the Republic Party, which many see as a clueless expression of the wealth and privilege of being a white American.

Accordingly, Bruce Jenner’s celebrity stature and her infamous interview about her gender transition have given the world a face to gender variance.

While she has earned sympathy and attention from the public for his recent TV interview at her home in Malibu, many trans people are still struggling outside and often fight for their lives because they are not in a privilege situation as Bruce Jenner is.

For her part, Miley is not about to do transgender transition. She said that she definitely does not want to be a boy because she just wanted to be nothing. But she does not like to be confined to being branded as a girl or a boy. She added that she does not hate being a girl too but it was the box that she grew up and was put into that she does not like.

Quick to move on

After her breakup with Patrick Schwarzenegger last month, Miley was quick to completely move on from the split. She immediately went into wild partying to completely forget about her former beau, who is the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver.

She attended a secret party in Las Vegas late in April, along with plenty of celebrities and she was caught kissing not just one but two people that night – one a female and the other a male.
