Vogue is under fire from critics who took offense that the fashion magazine has declared Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik “gender fluid” for sharing each other’s clothes.
In the couple’s joint cover story, Hadid and Malik share that they are flexible when it comes to fashion and have no problem dipping into the other’s closet.
“‘I shop in your closet all the time, donāt I?’ Hadid, 22, flicks a lock of dyed-green hair out of her boyfriendās eyes as she poses the question ‘Yeah, but same,’ replies Malik, 24. ‘What was that T-shirt I borrowed the other day?’ ‘The Anna Sui?’ asks Hadid. ‘Yeah,’ Malik says. ‘I like that shirt. And if itās tight on me, so what? It doesnāt matter if it was made for a girl.’ Hadid nods vigorously. ‘Totally. Itās not about gender. Itās about, like, shapes. And what feels good on you that day. And anyway, itās fun to experiment. . . .'” the article reads.
Twitter had a field day saying it was a reach for Vogue to declare the couple “gender fluid.”
Hi unless I’m missing something these celebs aren’t gender fluid they’re just sharing clothes? https://t.co/S5OJ1IOKli

I know right! And all Z & G say is that they borrow each other’s clothes. Such a big jump for the mag to declare gender fluidity

Poet Tyler Ford, who is quoted in the article, noted that the story overlooked how gender fluid relates to the LGBT community except for Ford’s quote.
the only mention of the word "trans" in this article on "gender fluidity" is by me via interview. ? https://t.co/27wSCkVXJ4
