NON-BINARY NEWS

In the photo, Ramirez wore a purple t-shirt. Her hair was styled in a coiffed mohawk with shaved sides. She wore her eyebrows thin and appeared to not have on any makeup.

She accessorized with a triangular-shaped earring and smiled modestly for the camera. In the caption, she wrote: "New profile pic." She then presented a list, which read:

"In me is the capacity to be. Girlish boy. Boyish girl. Boyish boy. Girlish girl. All. Neither. [Yellow, white, purple, and black heart emojis]."

In the profile description, Ramirez revealed she now goes by "she" or "they." Many who follow Ramirez knew her from her time on "Grey's Anatomy," where she played Dr. Callie Torres, a queer woman.

HER "GREY'S ANATOMY" CHARACTER

She was initially connected to the late character, George O'Malley. She then developed a relationship with a fellow surgeon, played by Brooke Smith.

When Smith left the show, Ramirez's storyline delved into her struggles with her sexuality and how it affected her relationship with her parents. Later on, she married pediatric surgeon Dr. Arizona Robbins.

However, the couple did not work out due to infidelity and an inability to make things work despite therapy. In May 2016, Ramirez departed from the ABC series.

BI-SEXUALITY AND MARRIAGE

The same year, Ramirez came out as bisexual following the Pulse nightclub shooting in Florida. She said she was moved to do so after the tragic events aimed at members of the LGBTQ community.

Ramirez has been married to businessman Ryan DeBolt since June 4, 2012. After coming out as both bisexual and now, non-binary, Ramirez has said nothing to indicate the pair have split up.

Elsewhere, many other "Grey's Anatomy" stars have moved on from the show and are involved in new projects. T. R. Knight played O'Malley, Ramirez's first love interest on the show.
