'I'm just equal. I'm just even,' Miley told Time magazine, adding, 'It has nothing to do with any parts of me or how I dress or how I look. It's literally just how I feel.'

AceShowbiz - Miley Cyrus is working hard to show her support for sexuality and acceptance beyond the traditional boy-girl norms. In an interview with Time magazine to promote her #InstaPride campaign which helps share transgender and gender stories, the singer said she preferred to address herself as gender fluid.
"I'm just equal. I'm just even. It has nothing to do with any parts of me or how I dress or how I look. It's literally just how I feel," Miley told the magazine. "People try to make everyone something. You can just be whatever you want to be."
Although Miley is never shy to put her body on full display while covering her nipples only with little pasties, she is fully aware of criticisms targeted at her for doing such thing. However, instead of feeling guilty, she keeps doing it to challenge people. "I'm using it as a power stance," she said. "It's funny to see people try to look me in the eye."
Miley later opened up about her love life with both women and men and her dissatisfaction with both. She explained when dating guys, she was always bothered with their "overly macho energy." "That made me feel like I had to be a femme-bot, which I'm not," she said.
"And then when I was with a girl, I felt like, 'Oh s**t, she's going to need someone to protect her, so I'm going to need to have this macho energy.' And that didn't feel right either," she added.
Miley claimed that finding someone to have sex with is easy but finding a true friend to share with is not as easy. "F**ing is easy. You can find someone to f**k in five seconds," she frankly said. "We want to find someone we can talk to. And be ourselves with. That's fairly slim pickings."
At the end of the interview, Miley encouraged her fans to find their own strength and be themselves. "I hope more kids don't do what I did and sit in their room and cry, thinking 'I just don't know what I'm supposed to be,' " she said. "But when I tell kids sometimes, 'Just be yourself,' I feel like, 'I hope you can do that. Can you really do that?' "
She concluded, "Maybe if you're finally getting to be yourself, it's more of a celebration. Like, you are living your f**king life."
