Young Sheldon star Raegan Revord came out as non-binary at the age of 17 earlier this year, crediting gender-fluid celebrities before them.

Ragaen Revord, who portrayed Melissa Cooper – the younger twin sister of Big Bang Theory character Sheldon – in the CBS prequel sitcom, has celebrated their gender identity in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

“It’s so cool because growing up, whenever I would see a celebrity or whoever come out as non-binary or queer or anything, I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is so cool, I see myself in you,’” Revord said while discussing their debut novel Rules for Fake Girlfriends.

“And now it’s so crazy to have that experience where I’m now that person and there might be a kid somewhere who’s like, ‘Oh my God, I see myself in you,'” they continued.
“And that’s such an insane thing ‘cause I was in that kid’s shoes at some point in my life.”
Revord, 17, changed their pronouns on social media to they/ them in January this year, but had not publicly addressed their gender identity until now.

Revord portrayed Missy Cooper for seven seasons from 2017 to 2024. They had previously appeared on Modern Family, Grace and Frankie and more

Their debut novel, Rules for Fake Girlfriends, is a sapphic romance novel, published by Wednesday Books.
