Demi Lovato re-adopts she/her pronouns because they/them pronouns were "exhausting"

From the article in the Independent:

In 2021, the American musician announced they are non-binary and would be using they/them pronouns. Last year, they decided to also use she/her pronouns to avoid having to constantly explain herself.

“I constantly had to educate people and explain why I identified with those pronouns. It was absolutely exhausting,” said Lovato, 30. “I just got tired. But for that very reason I know that it is important to continue spreading the word."

I'll have to agree with samoan on this one. That before pic is so much better than that hideous after pic.

What the hell was she thinking? Not attractive at all...

She chose to look that way. It's not like she looks old.

SAME RESPONSE.😉

[–] stickman38 (3346) a year ago

Kowalski,

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, by the same token, wouldn't it be true that ugliness is also in the eye of the beholder?

Not that people really need to make comments about it but Samoan wasn't mean spirited about it, at least I don't think so, it was just an observation.

IMDB/MC still calling her they/them. If 'misgendering' her was wrong when she was a they/them why is it not wrong now she is using grammar correctly again?

[–] PaladinNJ (21510) a year ago

Not PC to change it back

Yep, she gets no say in it now! It's out of her hands!

She was always doing it for attention. She is ridiculous.

[–] stickman38 (3346) a year ago

I just don't get the they/them thing. Maybe someone can explain it? lol...

And I am being kinda serious, are we supposed to call an individual "they" or "them". If so, that is the dumbest thing ever.

[–] willjbeau (725) a year ago

"They/them" has always* been used in English for non-gendered objects. "I went to the store and they were out of frozen pizza" is an example. "It" also works in that context, I'm just saying that it's common to use "they/them" for singular nouns when the noun is a thing. Only recently has this been extended to people who don't identify with any gender. It's preferable to referring to someone as "it".

*At least for Modern English. Don't know about older English.

[–] stickman38 (3346) a year ago

I would hate being called "it" that must suck pretty hard for trans people.

But I suppose what you're saying is you refer to a group of trans people as "they" but what about an individual? You can't exactly say "them" or "they" when talking about one person... right? You have to say "him" or "her" or "she" or "he" to narrow it down to one.

Translation: I realized how fucking stupid it was pretending I wasn't a girl, but don't want to admit that.
