As per the outlet, the Booksmart actress also reflected on her own journey of coming out. Feldstein mentioned that it wasn't as if she was hiding something, but it "was like I hadn't put the pieces that had been clicked in together in my own body."
She noted that once she figured it out, she came out almost immediately because she was incapable of keeping anything inside her brain or body, describing herself as an "extremely external person."
The Ladybird actress expressed that this was "a much more common queer experience than I think people talk about often." The actress added that the medical drama also "did a great job" portraying a similar journey to Callie Torres’ character arc.
She noted that sometimes you think you're one thing, and everyone tells you you're one thing, but you’re not "mad" about it, noting, "It's just something maybe doesn't feel 100% right."
Beanie Feldstein mentioned that it wasn't as if she didn’t have a fondness for the men she had dated in the past, stating they were "good, nice people" and everything was fine, acknowledging that there was "just something missing."
