Demi Lovato doesn’t want to be referred to as a “she” anymore. In fact, the chart topper says that changing their pronouns has been a huge transition for their life. Here’s what they have to say.
Demi took to her Instagram account this week to write, “If you misgender me – that’s ok! I accidentally misgender myself sometimes! It’s a huge transition to change the pronouns I’ve used for myself my entire life. And it’s difficult to remember sometimes!”
The singer continued, “As long as you keep trying to respect my truth, And as long as I remember my truth, The Shift will come naturally. I’m just grateful for your effort in trying to remember what means so much to my healing process.”
Back in May, Demi opened up as to why she didn’t come out as non-binary earlier in her career.
Demi Lovato Says Changing Pronouns Has Been A Life-Changing Experience
“After years of living my life for other people, trying to make myself smaller for the patriarchy — they run the industry, they are at the center of everything. When I realized that, I thought, ‘What are the ways that the patriarchy has been holding me back?’” Demi said.
She added, “And for me, it was putting me in a box telling [me] that ‘You are a female, this is what you’re supposed to like, this is what you’re supposed to do, don’t dream bigger and don’t speak louder.’ That didn’t vibe for me because I’m too outspoken for that.”
Demi also explained why they are so politically-charged at times.
“I think all I can encourage people to do is to find more compassion and to have more empathy for others,” Demiexplained. “If you’re having a hard time finding that towards others, go within yourself, find it within yourself so you can find it for others because that’s what will bring us together is that unity.”
They added: “Remembering that even though we are individuals, we are one, and when we start excluding people, that’s when things get really hateful and dangerous.”
