Lady Gaga has opened up about why she never spoke out about rumours in her early career that she is transgender. For example in an interview with CNN in 2011 she shut down a question from the journalist saying: ‘Why the hell am I going to waste my time and give a press release about whether or not I have a penis? My fans don’t care and neither do I.” On the second episode of Netflix’s “What’s Next? The Future With Bill Gates”, Gaga explained why she didn’t answer: “When I was in my early 20s there was a rumor that I was a man…The reason why I didn’t answer the question is because I didn’t feel like a victim with that lie and I thought: What about a kid who is being accused of that who would think that a public figure like me would feel shame?…I’ve been in situations where fixing a rumour was not in the best interest of the well being of other people. In that case, I tried to be thought provoking and disruptive in another way. I tried to use the misinformation to create another disruptive point.” #lifeandstyle #ladygaga #lgbtq
