\u201cThe Steven Universe fandom coming for Jinx Monsoon now because she's voicing a gem. Gotta love people crying transphobia at a trans person..\u201d

\u201cThe Gems are meant to be non-binary - and we actually finally have a non-binary person voicing one and yall get mad. :/\u201d

\u201c@OhHeyDJ @jpbrammer The Gems are all femme presenting non-binary aliens and and SU fans seem to believe every drag queen is a transphobic "man in a dress" act.\u201d

\u201cBecause this apparently needs to be repeated... I am male bodied, I prefer to identify as non-gendered/non-binary. I prefer They/Them.\u201d

\u201cI came out as NB/non-gendered almost 4 years ago. I have privately identified under the Trans umbrella since my teens.\u201d

\u201cI spoke out on a trans matter 4 years back, and someone encouraged me to come out, in an effort to enlighten. I did and I'm glad I did.\u201d

\u201cI do not get upset when people use the wrong pronouns for me as long as it is not a malicious attack on my gender.\u201d

\u201cI choose to educate rather than get upset. I choose to enlighten people rather than attack them.\u201d

\u201c@markrentcn In drag, I prefer She/Her. :) and frankly, she/her always works for me. My future is female.\u201d

\u201cIt\u2019s official! I voiced Emerald in one of my favorite shows: Steven Universe! Gigantic thanks to @rebeccasugar who gave me this chance and made my dreams come true! Here\u2019s hoping this is the beginning of a wonderful love affair with @cartoonnetwork\u201d
