This is more than a coming-out moment. It’s a cultural shift — and fans are here for it.
At just 16 years old, Young Sheldon star Raegan Revord (a.k.a. Missy Cooper) has publicly come out as non-binary, opening up in a heartfelt conversation with Entertainment Tonight that’s already resonating with fans around the world.
In their own words, Raegan didn’t just share a label — they shared a mission. And it’s one that’s touching hearts everywhere.

💬 “I See Myself in You…”
Raegan spoke candidly about how seeing other celebrities embrace their true selves helped them during their own journey:
“It’s so cool because growing up, whenever I would see a celebrity or whoever come out as Non-Binary or Queer, I was like, ‘Oh my god, this is so cool, I see myself in you.’”
Now, they’re stepping into that role for someone else:
“It’s so crazy to have that experience where I’m now that person and there might be a kid somewhere who’s like, ‘Oh my god, I see myself in you.’”
Cue the chills. 🌈
🌟 A Real-Life Role Model
Raegan has long been a fan-favorite on Young Sheldon, playing the feisty, funny, and fearless Missy Cooper. But off-screen, they’re proving to be just as impactful — using their voice and visibility to stand up for authenticity, identity, and inclusion.
Fans are calling the moment:
-
“Life-changing”
-
“A win for LGBTQ+ youth everywhere”
-
“The representation we needed — and deserved”
It’s a powerful reminder of just how much representation matters, especially for young people searching for someone who reflects who they are.
