REFERRING TO HIS FEMININE SIDE

It all began when he said eh would catch himself saying "himself" or "herself" when identifying himself, because he sees himself as both feminine and masculine. After realizing how many people were praising him for "coming out," he revealed he actually had no clue what they meant.

"I was talking about men getting in touch with the female side of themselves. I wasn’t talking about sex, I wasn’t talking about being gay or straight."

He then suggested people read up on psychiatrist Carl G. Jung's works to learn more about getting in touch with one's feminine side before clarifying that he identifies as a man and that he is not gay.
