Singer Lorde Refuses To Pick A Gender: ‘I’m A Woman Except For The Days When I’m A Man’

Singer Lorde just gave a lengthy interview promoting her new album, “Virgin,” during which she discussed how she doesn’t fully identify with either gender. The 28-year-old celebrity also mentioned going off birth control two years ago for the first time since she was a teen.

Lorde told Rolling Stone during the cover story interview that she’s “in the middle gender-wise.” During a conversation she had with her friend, “queer” recording artist Chappell Roan, Lorde responded to a question about her being non-binary by saying, “I’m a woman except for the days when I’m a man.”

That same line is included on her new album’s opening track.

“I know that’s not a very satisfying answer but there’s a part of me that is really resistant to boxing it up,” she continued.

The outlet noted how she referred to her journey of self-expression as “the ooze,” which referenced how she allowed herself to “take up more space.”

“My gender got way more expansive when I gave my body more room,” Lorde added.

She mentioned going off birth control in 2023 as being a turning point in her thoughts about gender. She said that action led to her feeling as though she “cut some sort of cord between myself and this regulated femininity. It sounds crazy, but I felt that all of a sudden, I was off the map of femininity. And I totally believed that that allowed things to open up.”

The singer insisted that the labels she currently has for herself are not “radical” compared to others.

“I see these incredibly brave young people, and it’s complicated,” Lorde told Rolling Stone. “Making the expression privately is one thing, but I want to make very clear that I’m not trying to take any space from anyone who has more on the line than me. Because I’m, comparatively, in a very safe place as a wealthy, cis, white woman.”

Lorde, a native of New Zealand whose real name is Ella Yelich-O’Connor, first gained popularity when she was a teen participating in a singing competition. She is the latest in a long line of celebrities and entertainers to embrace radical left-wing gender theory and identify as something different from the standard gender binary.

This has led to mixed reviews from fans generally. One commenter on X summed up what others have said, writing, “WTF is wrong with these people??”

Andrew Klavan’s New Book, ‘The Kingdom Of Cain,’ Hits NYT Bestseller List

Daily Wire host Andrew Klavan’s “The Kingdom of Cain: Finding God in the Literature of Darkness,” hit the No. 13 spot on the New York Times hardcover nonfiction bestseller list this week, showing, yet again, that readers are itching to soak up Klavan’s timeless wisdom. 

The Kingdom of Cain,” which hit shelves on May 6, explores how people can obey the biblical command to “rejoice evermore” when the world is filled with so much evil. Klavan’s book quickly became the No. 1 book in Christian Death and Grief on Amazon before hitting the NYT bestseller list. 

“Delighted to tell you that ‘Kingdom of Cain: Finding God in the Literature of Darkness’ has made the NY Times Bestseller List. Thank you all for picking up a copy. I hope you come to love it as much as I do,” Klavan wrote on social media on Wednesday. 

The book focuses on three murders throughout history “and the works of art that reveal the nature of their evil.” First, Klavan highlights the killing of French con man Jean-François Chardon and his mother by the thief Pierre François Lacenaire in 1834, which Klavan says sparked “the beginning of a startling century-long dance between art and reality.” Then, the author shifts to the murders committed in the American Midwest in the 1950s by psychopath Ed Gein, the murders that inspired the novel “Psycho” written by Robert Bloch, which then went on to inspire Alfred Hitchcock’s movie of the same name. 

Finally, Klavan goes to the beginning: Cain’s murder of Abel, and how Cain’s presence continues throughout the Old and New Testaments. 

“The Kingdom of Cain” is available on Amazon, and you can purchase signed copies of the bestselling book at Daily Wire Shop.
