Alexander was assigned female at birth.https://www.intomore.com/culture/16yearold-trans-actor-ian-alexander-is-bringing-queer-power-to-the-big-screen/ "Initially, Alexander felt the role didn’t reflect the trans experience –or his, anyway. Vic’s character was described as “biologically female but gendered male” in the script, but after Alexander asked for a revised description, and even had a hand in the rewrite, the more-inclusive language came to instead acknowledge that “sometimes someone’s mind doesn’t match up with their body.” .. For Alexander, he first confronted his feelings for the same sex at 11, before realizing that “maybe this isn’t all I have to discover about myself.” He would Google “female-to-male transgender”"
Alexander stated in an interview with USA Today that the role of Gray "allowed him to 'realize my worth' and represent his community by 'just existing and being myself.'" He also stated that he hoped that "other trans actors can get more casting calls, inclusive storylines and opportunities behind and in front of the camera."
