Lady Gaga made an appearance in second episode of Netflis's What’s Next? The Future with Bill Gates, she spoke up about how she never bothered to clarify the rumours claiming she is a man. Lady Gaga said:
“When I was in my early 20s there was a rumour that I was a man. I went all over the world. I travelled for tours and for promoting my records and in almost every interview I sat in they said that there was this imagery on the internet that had been doctored. They’d say, ‘There’s rumors that you’re a man. What do you have to say about that?'”

Lady Gaga continued:
“The reason why I didn’t answer the question is because I didn’t feel like a victim with that lie and I thought: What about a kid who is being accused of that who would think that a public figure like me would feel shame? I’ve been in situations where fixing a rumor was not in the best interest of the well being of other people.”
As soon as her words and reasons made their way on social media, several netizens began pouring in their thoughts on the same. An X user, @PopBase posted about the same, to which, one user wrote:
“She ended stan Twitter weirdos.”

“Her lyrics "don't be a drag just be a queen" hits harder now, she's truly THE QUEEN,” wrote another X user.
“Lady Gaga deserves to be more respected,” said a Twitter user.
“This is why she will always be MOTHER like you can never make me hate her,” added another social media user.
“Classy way to handle it. Very thoughtful of others,” claimed an internet user.

“I tried to be thought provoking and disruptive in another way”: Details explored as Lady Gaga talks about not addressing rumours about being a man

“In that case, I tried to be thought provoking and disruptive in another way. I tried to use the misinformation to create another disruptive point. I’ve been used to lies being printed about me since I was 20 years old. I’m a performer. I think it’s kind of funny.”
