The singer posted a video on Instagram, making a big announcement:<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the past year and a half, I have been doing self-reflection and healing work, and through this work, I have had a revelation that I identify as non-binary. That said, I will officially change my pronouns to ‘they \/ them’ (‘they’ in Spanish, but whose simile in our language is the ending \/ e \/ that we use in inclusive language),\u00bb he said in the video.<\/p>\n

\u00abI feel like this better represents the fluidity I feel<\/strong> in my gender expression and allows me to feel more authentic and true to the person that I know I am and that I am still discovering,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The announcement is part of his podcast, 4D, with Demi lovato<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Lovato made these statements in a conversation with Alok Vaid-Menon<\/strong> (for the first episode) in which they discussed identity and how Lovato came to discover her truth.<\/p>\n

Lovato said she spoke with Sam Smith<\/strong> about not being binary and having so many questions for them. Smith then recommended that they go to the poetry show in Alok Vaid-Menon<\/strong> to learn more. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s a visceral reaction in me that was screaming, ‘This resonates with you.’ And it was the first time in so long that I heard someone speak my truth, and then I realized that that is my truth too.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWhereas, like in 2018 when I overdosed, I feel like the reason it happened was because I was ignoring my truth and I was holding back who I really am to please stylists or crew members or this or that,\u201d she continued. \u00abOr even fans who wanted me to be the sexy female pop star in a leotard and look a certain way.\u00bb\n<\/p>\n

Lovato said that if they dress as a woman in society, it does not mean that they identify as such.\n<\/p>\n

Lovato said she has learned to live her truth. Vaid-Menon said that non-binary means that you are not exclusively a man or a woman.<\/strong> Lovato and Vaid-Menon later said that gender is not related to how people look.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve had thoughts where I’m like; there might be a time when you want to wear a full wig,\u201d they said. \u201cThere may be a time when I, you know, want to dress completely as a woman for a performance, and that doesn’t mean that I’m identifying as a woman at the time. It just means that’s what I want to wear at the time.\u00bb\n<\/p>\n

Demi Lovato said that her pronouns are \u00abthey\/them\u00bb (It would be equivalent to \u00abelle\u00bb) and accepts that some people will make mistakes when saying \u00abher\/she\u00bb (ella)\u00bb as they get used to this change. But she wants people to make an effort and not be afraid of being wrong.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
