⁠In response to a Gay Times article that covered the quote, Julz commented on their Instagram.

“I’m actually trans masc and go by he/they pronouns 🫶🏼😌,” he added.

One commenter wrote: That’s cool he supports his sibling but we’re not going to put aside his girlfriend from what I’ve heard from every Dylan O’Brien fan she’s homo phobic rac ist and what else I don’t know yet.”

“He also hasn’t spoken to me in over a year. He didn’t check in when I had top surgery. He didn’t even wish me a happy bday last week! But glad I could deepen his experience in this world and make the world love him that much more 😏,” Julz responded.
