Demi Lovato suggests patriarchy is to blame for her not coming out as non-binary sooner

Singer Demi Lovato seems to have hinted that she would have defined herself as “non-binary” earlier if it wasn’t for the “patriarchy.”

Lovato said the “patriarchy” dominated her life in the entertainment industry by telling her how she should be.

“When I realized that, I thought, ‘What are the ways that the patriarchy has been holding me back?” said Lovato.

“And for me, it was putting me in a box, telling me that ‘you’re a woman, this is what you’re supposed to like, this is what you’re supposed to do, don’t dream bigger and don’t talk louder.’ And the truth is that I never liked that as I am very outspoken.”

As for politics in this divided country, Lovato said she encourages people to have “compassion” and “empathy for others.”

“I think the one thing I can encourage people to do is to find more compassion and have more empathy for others,” Lovato said.

“If you’re having a hard time finding that toward others, go within yourself, find it within yourself so you can find it for others because that’s really what’s going to, I think, bring us together is that unity.”

“Today is a day where I’m so happy to share more of my life with all of you: officially changing my pronouns to they/them.” posted Lovato in a Twitter thread.

“This has come after a lot of healing work and self-reflection.”

“I do this for those who have not been able to share who they really are with their loved ones,” Lovato said.

Previously, Lovato said she cut her hair to break free from the gender and sexuality norms of the Christian South.

“I cut my hair because I simply wanted to break free from all the gender and sexuality norms that were imposed on me as a Christian in the South. And when I cut my hair, I felt very liberated.”
