Demi Lovato feels there may be a time in the future where they identify as trans as they are ‘fluid and open’ about their gender identity.
The singer came out as non-binary in May this year, changing their pronouns to they/them.
Demi, 28, feels ending their engagement to actor Max Ehrich in 2020 helped them to become their ‘authentic self’.
The star then began to identify as non-binary to close friends and family at the end of last year and was also helped by their friend, the singer Sam Smith, who also identifies as they/them.
In their appearance during The 19th Represents Summit, which took place online, Demi confessed their journey with their gender identity will continue for the rest of their life.
‘It’s a journey forever,’ the Not Sorry singer explained.
‘There might be a time where I identify as trans, I don’t know what this looks like for me.
‘There might be a time where I identify as nonbinary and gender non-conforming my entire life, or maybe there’s a period of time when I get older that I identify as a woman.

‘In this moment right now this is how I identify and I have a feeling that it’s not going to ever go back to one way or the other, but it’s about keeping it open and free. I’m a very fluid person.’
Describing being non-binary as like ‘being healed of gender norms’ Demi added they feel comfortable to experiment with their appearance without automatically presenting as feminine.

‘For me it’s been relaxing the feminine side of myself to embrace my masculine side more,’ Demi shared, ‘and what that’s done for my body image issues has actually been really helpful because I no longer feel like I have to gravitate to the bodycon dresses.
‘I can wear this baggy stuff and feel like a boss and I love that. Some days I feel super feminine, some days I feel super masculine.’
