American musician and actress Kehlani who previously declared herself as pansexual, has revealed that she ‘finally knows’ that she’s a lesbian.
The 25-year-old who has a two-year-old daughter with her 23-year-old guitarist Javaughn Young White revealed through an Instagram Live chat with photographer Jamie Lee B that she had figured out that she was attracted to women.
She opened up saying, “You wanna know what’s new about me? I finally know I’m a lesbian.”
She went on disclosing how she came to the conclusion saying, “I think a lot of artists who we talk about and say, ‘oh, they had to come or they had to do this,’ a lot of them hide it.
‘I didn’t even really have to come out in my private life. I don’t walk down the street and people look at me and go, ‘Oh, I bet she’s queer’ or ‘I bet she’s into women’ or anything like that because of the way I present.
“That’s all privilege and I think that there are quite a few artists who were truly at the forefront but weren’t able to make the strides that I was able to make being 100 percent myself because of the way they present and the biases and the phobias of the American public and the world. I’ve been lucky, super lucky.”
She continued saying, “I feel more masculine when I am in my stillness and I’m grounded in a quiet, contemplative mode. I feel most feminine when I’m being the mother of the house.
“I also feel my femininity when I take time for self-care –when I take really beautiful baths where I throw some flowers in and I do a hair mask and take time oiling my body in the mirror and saying how beautiful I feel.”
The ‘Good life’ crooner said she doesn’t want to fall into gender norms but unconsciously finds her femininity dominating and it brings out her softer side.
“My femininity makes me feel soft and gentle and tender and careful in a different way than my masculinity makes me feel.
“I’m trying not to let it fall into the gender norms of feminine or masculine, but for me it does a tiny bit. But I also am very fluid in both of those settings.”
