Slim Thug sat down for an important conversation with artist Big Freedia; a discussion about using the proper pronouns when addressing people of various genders. The Texas rap star appeared on a recent episode of College Hill: Celebrity Edition, and asked Freedia, who identifies as gender fluid, about pronounces.
“I never been able to kick it with somebody like you, so I need to know the proper pronouns,” the rapper said.
“I’m gender fluid. I don’t have a pronoun,” Big Freedia said. “It’s a new age for me, too—with the pronoun stuff. With my homies in New Orleans who I kick it with, who I grew up with, I’m their bro. To my girls, I’m they sista. To my kids, straight and gay, I’m their mom. My sister, my blood sister, I’m her brother. And when she wanna call me her sister, I’m her sister. It really don’t matter to me—because I know who I am.”
Slim talked about how, in his environment, people rarely know how to interact with with LGBTQ community.
“We don’t know what offends people or not,” he said. But he made it clear that he's grateful for the opportunity to step out of his comfort zone and learn more.
