Netflix star Brandon Kyle Goodman shares new pronouns after coming out as non-binary
Big Mouth voice actor Brandon Kyle Goodman has shared their new pronouns after previously coming out as non-binary, telling their fans: “Allow me to reintroduce myself.”
The actor-come-activist is perhaps best known for their roles on the Netflix series, as well as Prime Videoās Modern Love, and Huluās Plus One. The star also launched the podcast Tell Me Something Messy.
Goodman shared their new pronouns, they/them/theirs, on Tuesday (3 December) via Instagram: “Allow me to reintroduce myself. my name is brandon kyle goodman. my pronouns are they/them/theirs. iāll give you all the grace when you slip up. itāll be a gentle transition for both of us. when in doubt you can always use Brandon, B, BKG, or (messy) mom!
“It is my great honour to be on this journey back to myself. iām grateful to share it with you. to love you and be loved by you,” they wrote.
Goodman previously came out as non-binary but used “he/they” pronouns at the time. They explained that their previous “he pronouns were for the world, and they pronouns were for me”.
On Substack, they added: “Iām free. Finally. It took all 37 years to come home to myself, but I am back in my body. In my mind. In my heart. In my soul. breathe Iām free. I donāt have to be what anyone said I should be. I donāt have to be my motherās dream. My fatherās secret. My familyās shame. I can be me. Independently. Unapologetically. Magically. Me.
“As far back as my bones can hold feeling, I have been chasing the approval of others,ā they continued. āWanting to be liked. Loved. Trying to be what I thought would gain me acceptance, belonging, celebration. But to make that happen I had to be other versions of myself,” they concluded.
