"I am not a 'woman', 'lady' or 'girl'. I'm [[trans]]. I'm non-binary, I identify predominantly as male. The truth of my [[identity]] is not up for discussion. [...] I've always known I'm non-binary, I just didn't always have the words to describe it. I always felt uncomfortable with the 'woman' or 'girl' thing, or 'lady', or whatever. I had my ways of saying it, like to my mum when I was a kid; 'I feel like a [[drag]] queen in a girl's body' - which is still how I feel."<ref name="Loftin">{{Cite web |title=Will the real Du Blonde please stand up? |author=Steven Loftin |work=The Line of Best Fit |date=18 February 2019 |access-date=28 March 2020 |url= https://www.thelineofbestfit.com/features/longread/du-blonde-the-real-beth-jeans-houghton-will-see-you-now | "I am not a 'woman', 'lady' or 'girl'.

"I don't make records for other people I make them because I love doing it. Everyone will always hate something about someone else's work, and they have the right to do so. But when they decide not to listen to my work, I have to live with what I've made. And I've finally made something I totally love. Something I feel represents me as the pit stinking slime boy I am."<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/BuHaaXhAWp5/ Feb 20 2019 instagram post] | "I don't make records for other people I make them because I love doing it.
