Disney Star Demi Lovato Explains Why She’s Going Back To ‘She/Her’ Pronouns

More than a year after coming out as non-binary and changing to they/them pronouns, Demi Lovato has gone back to using she/her pronouns.

On the Spout Podcast, Lovato, 29, spoke candidly about changing her pronouns, saying she did so because she has been feeling "more feminine" lately.

'I've adopted the pronouns of she/her again with me. So for me, I'm such a fluid person that I don't really and I don't find that I am... I felt like, especially last year, my energy was balanced and my masculine and feminine energy so that when I was faced with the choice of walking into a bathroom and it said, women and men, I didn't feel like there was a bathroom for me because I didn't feel necessarily like a woman,' she explained. 

'I didn't feel like a man. I just felt like a human. And that's what they/them are about. For me, it's just about like feeling human at your core.'

'Recently I've been feeling more feminine, and so I've adopted she/her again. But I think what's important is, like, nobody's perfect. Everyone messes up pronouns at some point, and especially when people are learning, it's just all about respect,' she added.

In a video posted to Twitter Demi said: 'I want to take this moment to share something very personal with you.’

'Over the past year-and-a-half I've been doing some healing and self-reflective work, and through this work, I've had the revelation that I identify as non-binary.’

'With that said, I'll be officially changing my pronouns to they/them. I feel that this best represents the fluidity I feel in my gender expression and allows me to feel most authentic and true to the person I both know I am and still am discovering.'

'I want to make it clear I'm still learning and coming into myself - I don't claim to be an expert or a spokesperson.'

Demi continued by urging her audience to "keep living in your truths" and sending "so much love" to anyone still having difficulty admitting who they are.

In a Twitter thread to accompany the video, the star added: 'Every day we wake up, we are given another opportunity & chance to be who we want and wish to be.’

'I've spent the majority of my life growing in front of all of you… you've seen the good, the bad, & everything in between.’

'Not only has my life been a journey for myself, but I was also living for those on the other side of the cameras.’

'Today is a day I'm so happy to share more of my life with you all - I am proud to let you know that I identify as non-binary & will officially be changing my pronouns to they/them moving forward.’

'This has come after a lot of healing and self-reflective work. I'm still learning & coming into myself, & I don't claim to be an expert or a spokesperson. Sharing this with you now opens another level of vulnerability for me.’

'I'm doing this for those out there that haven't been able to share who they truly are with their loved ones. Please keep living in your truths & know I am sending so much love your way xox (sic).'
