I’m so thankful to be nominated for an AACTA alongside some extraordinary women. I would also like to remind folks that I’m non-binary. Ive always been non-binary. The way I present, I understand, may be confusing to some people, particularly given the female roles I’ve played.
However, it’s really important for both myself and my trans and genderqueer community that I make this distinction. Thank you to AACTA and to everyone who has sent me their love and well wishes. I feel greatly honoured to have my work acknowledged amongst extraordinary talent.
it means a great deal to me. I wish the best of luck to all the nominees.
And for anyone wondering...
I am most comfortable being referred to as a person. I am extremely Indigenous and extremely gay. My gender is non-binary and my pronouns are they/them.
If you’re a Blackfella or a friend I am completely comfortable with you calling me sis, bro, cuz,
or any language words cudj, mullagah, yapa, yaya etc. and teasing way, Aunty or Uncle (or proper, if you’re my siblings kids, don’t be stupid).

Ma muk then. Thanks for coming to my ted talk 🌱
