WATCH: Ruby Rose Reflects on Coming Out as Gender Fluid

Ruby Rose is having a moment. The Australian-born actor, model, and DJ has been on a meteoric rise to stardom since her short, semi-autobiographical film Break Free went viral, with more than 8 million views on YouTube since it debuted last July.

Now, as the breakout star of Season 3 of Netflix's smash-hit Orange Is the New Black, Rose, 29, is lapping up the attention draped on her from American media that essentially ignored her when she first arrived in the States.

In a wide-ranging interview with Access Hollywood, Rose reflects on her stardom (including the minor car accident she caused when a driver couldn't take her eyes off the star), embracing her androgyny, and coming out as gender fluid, meaning she doesn't exclusively identify as male or female. Rose, who prefers the use of female pronouns, does identify as a lesbian, and is engaged to clothing designer Phoebe Dahl, who happens to be the granddaughter of author Roald Dahl.

Let Rose school you on the story behind Break Free, what it means to be gender fluid, why, at 12 years old, she kept a jar of change to save for transition surgery, in the clips below.
