Former Disney Star Demi Lovato recently confessed to the burden of using they/them pronouns during an interview with GQ Spain.
The pop singer and actress previously caused a stir when she opted to abandon her traditional she/her pronouns, a decision that threw her into the limelight as a figurehead of the non-binary community. However, her recent admission, branding the use of they/them pronouns as “absolutely exhausting”, reveals a stark contrast to her former stance.
The pop star, in an interview with GQ Spain, said she “got tired” of having to continuously explain the meaning behind the use of they/them pronouns.
“I constantly had to educate people and explain why I identified with those pronouns. It was absolutely exhausting,” said Lovato during the interview published Tuesday.
“And that is one of the reasons that have led me to also feel comfortable with the feminine pronoun. I just got tired,” she added.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Lovato revealed that her choice of pronouns was a mistake and said that she has felt more feminine recently.
In an interview with The Spout Podcast last year, the singer and actress revealed, “I’ve actually adopted the pronouns of she/her, again.”
“Recently I’ve been feeling more feminine, and so I’ve adopted she/her again,” Demi said on the podcast. “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.”
“So for me, I’m such a fluid person that I don’t really… 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. I didn’t feel like a man. I just felt like a human. And that’s what they/them is, is about for me, it’s just about, like, feeling human at your core.”
Lovato’s decision to change her pronouns again suggests that she uses the pronouns as a fashion or trend, rather than as a deeply personal reflection of one’s self-identity.
