It feels like nonbinary is having a 2021 moment. The latest big name to identify is pop superstar Demi Lovato. As they tell THR, “When I overdosed in 2018, I feel strongly that the reason that that happened was because I was ignoring my truth. I suppressed who I really was to fit this sexy, feminine pop star and actress image that others had assigned for me — be it stylists, team members, or even fans — that I never truly identified with. … Now I just realize that it’s so much more important to live your truth than to ever suppress yourself because that’s the type of stuff that happens when you do.”
