Jamie Lee Curtis dedicated her Oscar to Ruby
Ruby came out as transgender to her mother Jamie and father Christopher in 2020, but the actress didn't make the announcement until the summer of 2021. In a July 2021 interview with AARP, Jamie disclosed that their daughter, formerly known as Thomas, was transgender with Ruby's consent. The Oscar winner said that she and her husband, director Guest, 75, "have watched in wonder and pride as our son became our daughter Ruby."
The mother of two spoke to reporters about creating gender-neutral categories at the annual awards show after winning her Oscar at the 95th Academy Awards earlier this month, as per People. She said, "Obviously I would like to see a lot more women be nominated so that there's gender parity in all the areas and all the branches, and I think we're getting there."
The 'True Lies' star went on to say, "We're not anywhere near there. And of course, the inclusivity then that involves the bigger question, which is, how do you include everyone when there are binary choices, which is very difficult." Curtis continued to say, "As the mother of a trans daughter I completely understand that. And yet, to de-gender the category, also, I'm concerned [that] will diminish the opportunities for more women, which is something I also have been working hard to try to promote."
In the past, Jamie has consistently supported Ruby and brought up the subject of transphobia while promoting 'Halloween Ends' in October 2022.
