'Love, Simon' Actor Keiynan Lonsdale Talks About Preferred Pronouns: 'I Just Want to Go by Tree' (NOT SATIRE)
Billboard ^ | September 26, 2018 | Joshua Bote

Keiynan Lonsdale doesn't care for labels all too much, as admitted in an interview with BIllboard. Now, rather than identifying with any specific pronoun, Lonsdale wants to go by “tree."

The Love, Simon star opened up about sexuality and gender pronouns in an intimate Instagram Live session on Tuesday.

When a fan asked if Lonsdale was gay, the actor was surprised to keep getting that question. “Now it just depends on the day. Sometimes I’m bisexual, sometimes I’m gay, sometimes I feel straight, sometimes I’m not anything,” Lonsdale said on Instagram Live. “It doesn’t matter. Either way, throughout all of that, I’m Keiynan.”

Lonsdale further explained: “I don’t want to go by ‘he’ anymore, I just want to go by ‘tree.’ I want people to call me ‘tree,’ because we all come from trees, so it doesn’t matter if you’re a he or a she or a they or a them. At the end of the day, everyone’s a tree. I want to call my friends 'tree' and me 'tree' and everyone 'tree.' So, I think, like now, when people ask me what my preferred pronoun is, I’m going to say ‘tree.’"

In a duo of Instagram posts, Lonsdale displayed an affinity for trees. In one, the actor stands shirtless, shrouded by a leaf-filled tree branch. In another, Lonsdale holds a branch of leaves.

Lonsdale concluded the Instagram Live remarks by saying: “I’m not high by the way, this is just me.”

Lonsdale is still at work on a debut album, describing the process as “very scary and very beautiful” on Instagram. Lonsdale's latest single, "Preach," was unveiled last month.

And don’t you dare question that it’s actually a tree. Hateful bigots get cancelled.

The biz is tough. Anything for attention.
We need 75 million + people to shut this stuff off. Stop watching the commercial media. It is poison to your mind. Kick the habit. ....i understand people get a squirt of dopamine to their brains’ pleasure center when watching or even anticipating some visual cues from these productions. The publicity folks know that and keep up the nonsense....completely cut it out of your life.
I guarantee your mind will rest and you will be mentally cogent. I guarantee it, based on my and others experiences.
Did not replace my tv’s when they got outmoded. Read like crazy...everyone I know who still watches the media talks about what they heard or saw on tv as if it is real, true, and pertinent...brainwashed sybarites.
Try it.
Save time and money to boot.
Sorry about the long rant....but go cold turkey on this bull.

Trees ... Umm.

Perhaps better remembered as:

Trees

“I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;

...

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.”

Joyce Kilmer (Sergeant, AEF)

(165th Infantry, 69th New York, AEF.
Born 6 December 1886; killed in action
near Ourcy (France) 30 July 1918.)

I can’t think of even one reason why I should care about anything an entertainer or professional athlete has to say.
