Ivan describes themself as "a trans person who doesn't fit neatly into the gender binary"[4] and has said "I don't want to be a man but don’t feel like a woman either, and that's a difficult place to be in, yet that is my authentic self and there is nothing harder than spending an entire lifetime trying to cover up your authentic self."[5] They also identify as butch[2]: "Nobody taught me how to be butch; I didn't even hear the word until I was twenty years old. I first became something I had no name for in solitude and only later discovered the word for what I was".[6]
Coyote was previously married to Zena Sharman, a Canadian health researcher and writer.[1] They are currently in a relationship with musician Sarah MacDougall. [7]
