Demi Lovato comes out: “I’m non-binary”

First, bisexual. Then, pansexual. Finally, after a long “path of healing and introspection”, non-binary. Demi Lovato, who in the past has told fans about their search for a perceived identity as such, has decided to open up again, doing outing as a non-binary person. “This is the day when I am happy to be able to share a further part of my life with all of you,” wrote the singer on Instagram, asking the public to refer to her using the pronouns they / them, that is, those pronouns that the English language assigns to the neutral gender.

In fact, the non-binary identity foresees that a human being does not feel that he can be included in the female or male category, finding parts of himself in both groups. Consequently, non-binaries are neutral, a classification for which the Italian language has not reserved (yet) any specific denomination.

Unlike what happens with English, in Italian “the artist” could replace “the singer” and the asterisks, the vowels that denote belonging. “I am still learning and trying to become who I am meant to be, so I don’t mean to be an expert or speak for and on behalf of a community», Wrote Demi Lovato again, explaining how« Sharing all this with you opens the door to another type of vulnerability. I am doing all this for those who do not have the opportunity to be themselves with the people they love. Please, always seek your own truth “, the final appeal of the former Disney star.
