She's become the most talked about cast member on Netflix's Orange is the New Black, and has found thousands of new fans in men and women-- straight, gay, or transgender, everyone seems to lose their minds over her.
Her name is Ruby Rose and she plays Stella Carlin, an inmate that intrigues Piper Chapman, played by Taylor Schilling.
With her inimitable style, her androgynous swagger, and confidence, it's easy to see just why the Internet has gone berserk over her.
Someone extremely hot like Ruby Rose didn't make you "go gay". Your sexuality just isn't as black and white as you thought it was— common gay girl (@chillsurfboard) June 17, 2015

But what's perhaps most beautiful about the 29-year old Australian is that she knows exactly who she is and what she stands for.
In a recent interview with ELLE, the actress says that she rejects labels and feels neither male nor female.
"Gender fluidity is not really feeling like you're at one end of the spectrum or the other," she explains. "For the most part, I definitely don't identify as any gender. I'm not a guy; I don't really feel like a woman, but obviously I was born one. So, I'm somewhere in the middle, which–in my perfect imagination–is like having the best of both sexes."
The point is further hammered in with a video that was recently uncovered on YouTube that Rose wrote, produced, and starred in.
The 5-minute short film starts out with Rose in full makeup, long hair, and a body conscious dress. By the end of the video, she sloughs her old self by cutting her mane, wrapping her breasts, and adopting a new masculine style. The message is clear from the video: Identity -- including gender -- is what you want it to be. And that's powerful.
