Singer Demi Lovato has finally revealed why they decided to re-adopt she/her pronouns in addition to they/them pronouns.
In 2021, the American singer, who is best known for her hit “Cool For The Summer”, announced they are non-binary and would be using they/them pronouns.
Last year, they decided to also use she/her pronouns to avoid having to constantly explain themselves. “I constantly had to educate people and explain why I identified with those pronouns. It was absolutely exhausting,” said Lovato, the 30-year-old singer.

However, they acknowledged the importance of continuing to raise awareness and educate others about different gender identities. For the singer, they wish there were more gender-neutral spaces for people like them.
According to Demi, they 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,” the singer said.
The singer continued to explain that when filling out government documents or forms, they often feel uncomfortable when presented with two options to specify their gender. “You only have two options, male and female, and I feel like none of that makes sense to me,” the singer added.
Lovato also opened up about wanting more gender-neutral spaces, adding, “I would feel more comfortable in a genderless bathroom.”
In 2021, Lovato came out as non-binary, explaining to fans that they would be using they/them pronouns going forward. However, in August 2022, announced they had started using she/her pronouns again.
