LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Demi Lovato, who started using they/them pronouns in May 2021 is having a tough time continuing with it. The 'Really Don’t Care' singer admits the experience is ‘exhausting’ and is switching back to ‘she/her.’ “I constantly had to educate people and explain why I identified with those pronouns. It was absolutely exhausting,” she said in a recent interview before adding “I just got tired. But for that very reason, I know that it is important to continue spreading the word.”
The 30-year-old singer further explained, “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." Lovato then talked about the red tape involved around the sexuality she identified with earlier, “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,” reports GQ Hype.
'I've actually adopted the pronouns of she/her again'
Talking to Tamara Dhia over the podcast, Lovato announced, “I've actually adopted the pronouns of she/her again. For me, I'm such a fluid person that I felt like, especially last year, my energy was balanced in 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. I didn't feel like a man. I just felt like a human.”
'Lol you can’t just keep switching'
Fans also reacted to her changing back to ‘she/her’ pronouns as one user commented “It was tiring for her or tiring for the rest of the world she wanted to make bend to her silly and narcissistic demands for special butterfly treatment? Rhetorical. It was the latter." The second user said, "Lol you can’t just keep switching and relabeling yourself that’s the problem with todays gen. All about labels for no reason not about who they actually are."" Convenient that she changes her pronouns now with all recent the anti-LGBTQ stuff that's been happening," questioned another user. One user agreed with Lovato and commented, "good.cause that's how it's supposed to be. That is Normal, anything else is abnormal if referring to only one person."
Another user said, "She says “Having to access the women's bathroom, even though I don't completely identify with it”. How does one identify with a toilet? Cut me a break."
