Girl Meets World star and wise-beyond-her-years feminist icon Rowan Blanchard opened up about identifying as queer last night. "I personally don't wanna label myself as straight, gay or whateva," she wrote on Twitter. "So I am not gonna give myself labels to stick with — just existing."

Though she says she's only ever liked boys in the past, she doesn't want to discount the very real possibility that she could, at one point, be attracted to another gender. (After all, as we learned in a recent study, every woman is "a little bit gay.") "Yes, [I'm] open to liking any gender in future is why I identify as queer," she continued on Twitter.

As a 14-year-old girl in the spotlight, defying conventional labels like so-called straightness is crucial to changing the conversation around LGBTQ acceptance. Amandla Stenberg, Rowan's pal and our February cover girl, recently made an equally empowering move when she came out as bisexual. “It’s a really really hard thing to be silenced and it’s deeply bruising to fight against your identity and to mold yourself into shapes that you just shouldn’t be in,” she said in her candid statement on Snapchat.

The world is lucky to have girls like Rowan and Amandla, who are changing society one tweet at a time.
