Billie opened up about her feelings towards femininity.

Earlier today, Variety shared their newest cover story. For the piece they talked to one of the biggest pop stars in the world, Billie Eilish. In the interview she discusses her own thoughts and feelings towards other women. “I love them as people. I’m attracted to them as people. I’m attracted to them for real, I’m physically attracted to them. But I’m also so intimidated by them and their beauty and their presence," Eilish explained.

Alongside her complicated views of other women, she also expressed uncertainty in her own femininity. “I’ve never felt like a woman, to be honest with you. I’ve never felt desirable, never felt feminine," Billie began. “I have to convince myself that I’m, like, a pretty girl. I identify as ‘she/her’ and things like that, but I’ve never really felt like a girl," Eilish concluded the interview portion. Though it's only a portion of the interview, it's already caught fire online as fans reflect on some of Eilish's biggest hits through the newly shared lens. Read the full cover story below.
