In an interview Spout podcast, the singer revealed that she had switched back to “she/her” pronouns lady year August saying that she’d been “feeling more feminine” and was a “fluid person”.
In case you are wondering, nonbinary individuals do not identify as any gender hence the use of they and them.
The rationale behind taking up no gender is what we don’t know but there are individuals like Demi who knows and identifies as such.
But for Demi Lovato, she currently lists both “they/them” and “she/her” pronouns on her Instagram profile.
She has opened up about her shifting gender identity in the guise to continue her activism on spreading awareness on gender-neutral pronouns.
In an interview with GQ Hype Spain, published on Tuesday, June 13, Demi revealed why she decided to change her pronouns back to “she/her” rather than “they/them”.
The 30-year-old singer admitted that it was tiring to have to constantly explain why her pronouns are different from the normal.
In other words, having to continuously have conversations about being gender neutral made her more comfortable switching back to she/her.
“I constantly had to educate people and explain why I identified with those pronouns. It was exhausting. And that is one of the reasons that have led me to also feel comfortable with the feminine pronoun.
I just got tired,” she told the outlet. “But for that very reason, I know that it is important to continue spreading the word.”
Demi also explained that she wished that there was a more open discussion about providing gender-neutral spaces.
She wants nonbinary individuals to have their places like gender neutral bathrooms, inclusion in government paperwork etc.
She said, “Having to access the women’s bathroom, even though i doesn’t completely identify with it. I would feel more comfortable in a genderless bathroom,”
Demi speaking on filling out paperwork said, “It also happens when filling out forms, such as government documents or any other where you have to specify your gender.
You only have two options, male and female, and I feel like none of that makes sense to me,” she said. “I see myself conditioned to choose a woman because there are no more [options].
I think this has to change. Hopefully, with time there will be more options.”
