Women are my gig. Gotta go.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEssentially, you have female and you have male. I\u2019ve met a lot of females, love them, [but] don\u2019t feel like I\u2019m them,\u201d Siwa said during an April 2025 episode of Celebrity Big Brother<\/em>. \u201cMet a lot of males, love them [but] definitely not one. Met a lot of people in my life who are non-binary, and these beautiful non-binary people are who I feel the most like. It\u2019s not something that I want to say about myself yet, but it\u2019s something that is confusing.\u201d<\/p>\nClarifying Her Sexuality<\/h3>\n
\u201cFirst of all, let\u2019s clarify a couple of different things here,\u201d Siwa said during an episode<\/a> of \u201cThe Viall Files\u201d podcast in April 2025. \u201cSexuality is fluid, gender identity are fluid. It could be one thing today and one thing tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\nShe continued: \u201cWhen I came out, I came out as pansexual, then I came out as lesbian, then I was like, maybe I am pansexual, then maybe I was like, no, maybe I am a lesbian, then I was like, maybe I\u2019m bisexual, then I was like, you know what? I think I\u2019m just gay, don\u2019t know what that means. Then I was like, no, maybe I\u2019m a lesbian. Now I\u2019m like, you know what? I think I\u2019m just queer.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
