Personal life

On 1 July 2021, Hope came out as non-binary via an Instagram post and announced their decision to change their gender pronouns to they/them, stating “Over the last year and a half I’ve had time to reflect, research and explore these feelings rather than push them away. What followed was a lot of lightbulb moments as I found vocabulary for how I had been feeling and a community of people who understood. I started to see myself. I could suddenly see myself in the future. I understood.” {{Cite web|url=https://www.instagram.com/p/CQzkJLOLAf1/ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/s/instagram/CQzkJLOLAf1 |archive-date=24 December 2021 |url-access=registration|title=Alex Hope on Instagram}}{{cbignore}}
