Courtney Act, a contestant on this year’s Celebrity Big Brother, has gone viral for perfectly explaining the spectrums of sexuality and gender to TV presenter India Willoughby.

Courtney Act, whose real name is Shane Jenek, is an Australian drag queen who appeared on season six of RuPaul’s Drag Race.

Willoughby, who was born Jonathan Willoughby and became Britain’s first transgender television newsreader, previously admitted to Jenek that she had a “weird phobia” of drag queens. - This is what Ive talked about before in terms of some Trans people look down on or have a phobia about different types of Trans along the trans spectrum and some say there is not trans spectrum

Jenek has been highly praised for describing the scales of sexuality and gender calmly and clearly.

“We know that a lot of people just see us the same and we both know that that’s completely incorrect,” he said to Willoughby.

“I think the tricky thing is that my feeling is that gender does exist on a spectrum.”

“I would say [it’s] like the Kinsey scale with sexuality from zero to six, where zero is exclusively heterosexual and six is exclusively homosexual.

“I think that gender’s similar where you know if one is female and six is male I’m probably a four.

“Gender can exist on a spectrum.”

Jenek went on to discuss how because people aren’t used to considering that there are more than two genders, they’re often opposed to the idea that gender can be as fluid as sexuality.

In which case if a woman is a 1 and a man is a 6 makes me a 5.5 as a crossdresser if Janek is a 4 makes sense
