Demi Lovato goes back to she/her pronouns as has 'recently been feeling more feminine'

Demi Lovato has claimed "nobody's perfect" as she goes back to using she/her pronouns, having previously identified as they/them.

The Disney star, 29, had announced she was non-binary but said she has been feeling "more feminine" recently, leading to her decision to change pronouns.

Fans of Demi noticed she had added she/her pronouns to her Instagram page back in May, but the singer didn't explain the move at the time.

Demi still has they/them listed on her profile alongside the new pronouns.

"I’ve actually adopted the pronouns of she/her again with me," Demi told hosts on the Spout Podcast.

"I felt like, especially last year, my energy was balanced and my masculine and feminine energy.

"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 said.

Demi added that she didn't feel like a man, she "just felt like a human", which is what she feels they/them is all about.

She said: "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."

Demi came out as non-binary in May 2021 and announced the decision to embrace they/them pronouns on Instagram.

Sharing the news, the star wrote: "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 and will officially be changing my pronouns to they/them moving forward.

Speaking more about her announcement on Audacy, Demi said: "After a year-and-a-half of exploration, I realised it was time to let the world know that It feels weird to me when I get called a she or a her.

"I understand that people might have a hard time adjusting to it because it is something new, but I want to encourage people to keep trying.

"I’m still, every day, stepping more and more into the identity that feels right to me, which is my pronouns being they/them."
