In October 2019, Paytas received criticism for coming out as a trans man online, due to having previously self-identified as a chicken nugget, ostensibly in a facetious manner. In a March 2021 interview, she said that when she came out as transgender in 2019, she "didn't have the vocabulary to describe it at the time". In April 2021, Paytas released a video on her main YouTube channel, in which she discussed her previous gender confusion and reaffirmed her non-binary identity.
