Lily Gladstone has recently elaborated on why the star prefers using both she and they as pronouns. In a new interview with PEOPLE, the Killers of the Flower Moon star said, “I remember being 9 years old and just being a little disheartened, seeing how often a lot of my boy cousins were misgendered because they wore their hair long.” Lily, who has Blackfeet and Nez Perce heritage, recalled, “It happens to a lot of kids, I think, especially Native boys leaving a community where long hair is celebrated [and then] just kind of getting teased for it.” “So, I remember back then being like, everybody should just be they,” remarked the 37-year-old. Lily explained, “In most Native languages, most Indigenous languages, Blackfeet included, there are no gendered pronouns.” “There is no he/she, there's only they,” she continued.
