“I feel that who your heart loves, what clothes you choose to wear, or what you want to do with your body, is your own damn business,” Mädchen said in a blog post from 2017. “I have never understood the part of our society that feels they have the right to tell you if you should love someone from another race or sex. What sexual positions are allowed in your own bedroom. Whether you should or shouldn’t identify with the sex that you were born with. Or all of the other obnoxious rules and regulations that society wants to put on our lives.”

Mädchen married her husband, songwriter David Alexis, in 1992. The couple have been married for over 25 years and have two grown children, daughter Mina and son Sylvester.
