Demi Lovato is now using she/her pronouns again — and she’s giving us an insight as to why she has chosen to do so.
The 30-year-old singer and actress sat down for an interview with GQ Hype Spain, and in the conversation she spoke about why she stopped using they/them pronouns.
Demi explained:
“I constantly had to educate people and explain why I identified with those pronouns. It was absolutely exhausting.
I just got tired. But for that very reason I know that it is important to continue spreading the word.”
Back in 2021, Demi came out as non-binary. The following year, she shared that she has chosen to go by she/her as well as they/them pronouns.
In the interview, she also talked about her frustration over the world not being as accessible to those who identify as non-binary:
“I face this every day. For example, in public toilets. Having to access the women’s bathroom, even though I don’t completely identify with it. I would feel more comfortable in a genderless bathroom. Or 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.
I see myself conditioned to choose a woman because there are no more. I think this has to change. Hopefully with time there will be more options.”
She discussed creating a safe space:
“The safe space that I have created in the industry is proof of the safe space that I have also created in my life. And I think that no matter what sector you are in, you have to be comfortable to evolve.
I’ve spent years selecting the right people and I’ve finally found my tribe.”
