American singer Demi Lovato said that they identify as a man and a woman both, months after coming out as non-binary.
During an interview with Today’s Hoda Kotb, the Sorry Not Sorry hit maker explained what it means to be non-binary.
“The way that I explain being non-binary to people, or gender non-conforming, is for me personally – I can’t speak to everyone in their experience – when I came to the realisation that I am equally as masculine as I am feminine,” they said.
“My masculine and feminine energy are equal, so much so that I may be wearing a dress and heels right now, but I don’t identify as just a woman, or just a man, I identify as both,” they shared.
They added that they still “have a lot of grace” in regards to correcting people about their pronouns.
“I still mess up sometimes and say ‘Oh, I can’t wait to be an aunt one day’, and I’m like, ‘Wait, what word do I use?’ I think for that one we’re going to use ‘aunkle’.”
