Personal life
On 1 July 2021, Alex came out as non-binary via an Instagram post and announced their decision to change their gender pronouns to they/them, stating “Over the last year and a half I’ve had time to reflect, research and explore these feelings rather than push them away. What followed was a lot of lightbulb moments as I found vocabulary for how I had been feeling and a community of people who understood. I started to see myself. I could suddenly see myself in the future. I understood.” [8]
