never called her "they". never will. i'm glad i won't need to avoid pronouns when talking about her anymore 

 

 

The only reason I called her they was to avoid warning points, I would say more but all I’ll say is that I’m not surprised at all

it reminds me of when girls lied about being bisexual in the mid 2000s for attention. then there's women who struggled with being bi/;esbian and accepted

Let’s not forget Demi’s song about how she was gonna be a lesbian because it was “cool for the summer.”

[1989]

Not surprised. However, even if most of atrl doesn’t like her, we should respect her as a human being and use the correct pronouns. I’ll continue to use they, and also go back to using she, too.

How shocking

I feel like most people only called Demi "they" precisely because they were afraid of getting warned, rather than because they actually cared about Demi's non-binary status. Which in itself is kind of sad; if people were only using Demi's preferred pronouns because they were under threat, then was the "respect" even real?

People bragging about not respecting her/their pronouns  Gender is fluid, just be respectful.

You really think me mistakenly referring to a public figure with the wrong pronoun, in a manner in which they/she will never see - warrants me a 6 week ban on a forum ? Girl you crazy. This forum can be a joke sometimes with its rules. A reverse Elon musk for sure

Well if it was an accident then my bad but misgendering someone regardless if they’re a public figure is still wrong there’s still a gender non conforming community on this forum as well who wouldn’t appreciate that kind of behaviour

The disturbing transphobia in here is- a lot  Hope something is done about this.

 

OT: Happy for her and I hope they're finally successful on their journey of self-discovery (I assume she doesn't mind both being used at the same time?).

well

[RunBoyRun]

If any of you were ever bi-curious but decided you were only straight or gay or whatever.... nope. You were doing the bi thing for clout. 

 

I could give a million other examples but even when they said they were non-binary, they said it was fluid. Which it is.

Performative nonbinarism at its finest. I could see it since the beginning. Its totally transphobic in my opinion and a disrespect to those who actually struggle 

Isn’t the whole point of pronouns for every person to express what they feel their gender identity is?
mom not coming at you I’m genuinely curious.

Isn't this how this whole non-binary thing works? A lot of us don't really understand it, or even suspect some people, in particular celebs, identify as such for attention and clout, and yet we are FORCED to entertain it and use the words they want us to use out of fear of being punished if we don't comply (whether is by calling us hateful, banning us, etc).

 

I also STRONGLY reject the idea that not agreeing or understanding non-binary is transphobia. Being TRANS has NOTHING to do with being non-binary. Non-binary is the actual rejection of the gender binary, which doesn't come from nowhere; it's based on biology and genetics (only two types of chromosomes X and Y). Being non-binary is more a political statement rather than a state of being in my opinion.

Transphobia?

 

Since when does non-binary=trans, they are not the same thing. 

 

As someone with a trans sister I find it so disgusting and ridiculous for you to even compare the 2. It really trivialises the struggles trans people face by  throwing this word around. Furthermore, you can support non-binary people like many in this thread do while having your own separate views on Demi.

Lmao

[loveisdead9582]

I mean… I have done my best to use everyone’s preferred pronouns, but I can’t say I’m surprised. I think Demi is trying to figure out exactly who Demi is, and I have a feeling we will see Demi go through a bunch of other identity changes. 

[Baby Boy]

She must be starting a new era. 

[Thinking Of You]

She is a hot mess 

 

I’m still pumped for the music though 

[vuelve88]

I’m shocked that the frozen yogurt protestor would make a decision like this. 

[Kool_Aid_King]

Who's surprised

[Apolonio ₃₄]

She’s such an attention seeker I swear.

I'm not sure which was more surprising, Demi changing her pronouns again or this thread.

Does Demi have a new album coming soon?
