Demi Lovato, 29, returned to using female pronouns a year after coming out as non-binary and sharing her preference for neuter pronouns. She said in an interview on Tuesday with the “Spout” podcast that she came to the decision because she is “a very fluid person.”
The singer explained that in the last year her energy was balanced between “masculine and feminine”. “When I was faced with the choice to go into a bathroom and I said ‘women’ and ‘men’, I didn’t feel like there was a bathroom for me, because I didn’t necessarily feel like a woman. And I didn’t feel like a man.” said.
Lovato said she chose to use neutral pronouns because she felt more human at her core. “Lately, I’ve been feeling more feminine, so I adopted her and hers again. I think the important thing is that nobody is perfect”, said the singer. “Everyone gets confused with pronouns at some point, especially when they’re learning. It’s all about respect,” she added.
The singer announced that she would be using neutral pronouns in May 2021, when she came out as non-binary after “doing some healing and some reflective work”. “I feel like it better represents the fluidity I feel in my gender expression and allows me to feel more authentic and true to the person I know I am and am still discovering,” she said at the time.
In April of this year, she stated that she accepted being called by female pronouns. In her Instagram bio, she said that she responds in the same way when referring to her as “they”, but also “she” and “her” (her and her in literal translation).
In May 2021, Demi revealed that she understands herself as a non-binary person, that is, one who does not identify with any binary gender whether female or male. In a series of messages on social media at that time, she explained better about this positioning.
“For the past year and a half, I’ve been doing a healing process and reflective work. Through this, I have the revelation that I identify as a non-binary person. With that said, I officially change my treatments to ‘they/them. ‘” he said.
