In a recent interview with The New York Times, the 19-year-old star revealed how excited she always got when someone called the actor "he" and checked the column of 'non-binary' while filling up any form, if there's an option. She also says she doesn't put a lot of weight into pronouns, but doesn't like "being gendered."
"I guess my gender has always been very fluid. Someone would call me ‘she’ or ‘her’ and I wouldn’t think about it, but I knew that if someone called me ‘he’ it was a bit exciting. I’m very much just a person. Being gendered isn’t something that I particularly like, but in terms of pronouns, I really couldn’t care less," Ramsey said during the interview.
Her comments come after she was nominated for Best Young Actor/Actress acccoladr at the Critics' Choice Awards for her movie 'Catherine Called Birdy'. In the movie, she plays the role of a girl named Birdy learning about living her life with free mind-set. However, she soon finds herself in problematic situations when she suffers a lot of heartbreaks. The movie received acclaim from the critics as well as audiences and Ramsey garnered more recognition for her stupendous work.
As far as 'The Last of Us' is concerned, her character Ellie is considered to be one of the first queer woman protagonist to get featured in a major video game series and the writers of the show have already promised that the show will not "erase that representation" while referring to Ellie's sexuality.
