Gallons is an omnisexual trans woman [9] and uses she/they pronouns. [10] In 2020, she stated "All forms of human sexuality just kinda make me throw up in my mouth and I’d rather just not think about it. So I seem to have a few asexual bones in my body too!"

On July 9, 2024, Gallons accused fellow Elephant 6 member Julian Koster of sexually assaulting and grooming her between 2001 and 2005, beginning when she was fifteen years old and Koster was in his late twenties.
