      - Sometimes. Genderfluid, so typically when in 'boy mode' it'd be he and 'girl mode' it'd be she. -- nm - Qale Mar 26, 12:41 9
        
        Relatedly: Twitch's biggest former 'femboy' F1nn5ster came out as genderfluid a few weeks ago. -- nm* - Qale Mar 26, 12:57 1

        and every time he did, it just equaled $$ in his pockets. -- nm - Jovian Mar 26, 12:33
    - The first part means nothing to him and we are all holding our breath to actually see the second. -- nm - Spawn Mar 26, 12:29
