Grimes asked her 1.3 million followers, ‘Is this all explained by hormones?’

The Vancouver native, whose full name is Claire Elise Boucher, answered questions from followers who responded to her initial inquiry.
When a follower said that her gay feelings hinged on ‘being in a heterosexual relationship’ with a less-agreeable partner, Grimes said in response, ‘I feel like that [should] make me more gay tho.’
One user told Grimes that the platform owned and operated by Musk wasn’t the best place to get good answers on the topic.
‘Ask a doctor, X is not the best place, because you’ll get 100 different theories,’ the user told Grimes, who said she was ‘kinda curious [about] the theories’ floating around on the subject.
Grimes noted that she ‘was reading [about] grey matter loss but improved neuroplasticity associated [with] pregnancy.’
Grimes said her ‘testosterone is way down’ after a user suggested she get her testosterone and DHEA levels checked, adding that she planned on following up with the doctor about it.
Asked for clarification on what she meant in saying ‘by being less gay,’ the musical artist said she was ‘just less interested in dating girls.’

Grimes and Musk parted ways more than three years ago, as he told Page Six in September of 2021 that he and Grimes were ‘semi-separated.’
He said at the time that she would continue to live at a home he owns in California.
‘It’s mostly that my work at SpaceX and Tesla requires me to be primarily in Texas or traveling overseas, and her work is primarily in LA,’ said Musk. ‘She’s staying with me now and Baby X is in the adjacent room.’
Musk, 53, has vociferously stated his support for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in recent weeks, has past been married on three occasions.
