“Yeah, so, they/them is… I actually used the pronoun she/her again,” he said, as quoted from Hypebae.
The former lover of Wilmer Valderrama continued to explain, “Last year, my energy was evenly divided between masculine and feminine energies. When faced with the choice of walking to the bathroom and being told, girls and boys, I didn’t feel there was a bathroom reserved for me because I don’t feel like a woman or a man. I just feel like a human being. That’s why the term they/them fits me.”
Currently Demi Lovato feel a greater feminine energy within him. That’s why he wants to be called again with the pronoun ‘she/her’.
“I think the most important thing is, no human is perfect. Everyone messes up personal pronouns at some point, and especially when someone is in the process of learning. It’s all about respecting each other,” he concluded.
