Demi Lovato Speaks Out On People Mislabeling Nonbinary Status

Demi Lovato came out as nonbinary, but it’s okay if you get it wrong and call Demi “her.” The thing that matters most to her is making an effort.

Lovato posted on Instagram to open up about those who don’t acknowledge her nonbinary status. Pronouns can be tricky, but Lovato opened up in the caption for her post to let people know that it’s the effort that counts the most for her.

I felt the need to post this because I often find that the change in pronouns can be confusing for some, and difficult to remember for others. It’s all about your intention. It’s important to me that you try, but if you make a mistake, it’s okay 😊🙏🏼💞 remember that I love you, and to keep going 

Lovato’s post contained a text graphic to further explain her point. The singer understands that a huge change like this will cause some misgendering, but respecting that position is what really helps.

“If you misgender – That’s okay. 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!”

“As long as you keep trying to respect my truth, And as long as I remember my truth, The Shift will come naturally.”

Demi Lovato concluded her note by saying, “I’m just grateful for your effort in trying to remember what means so much to my healing process.”

Hopefully, Demi Lovato’s strength will help encourage others in their own journeys. She is speaking out for a demographic that is often overlooked, but getting that representation is incredibly valuable.
