'It really does warm my heart up that people are trying.'
on Thursday, Demi opened up about their reasons for sharing their identity with the public, saying it took"a year and a half of exploration" to get to that point."I've used this time to really explore what feels right to me," Demi explained."And after a year and a half of exploration, I realized it was time to let the world know."
"It feels weird to me when I get called a 'she' or a 'her,'" they went on."I understand that people might have a hard time adjusting to it, because it is something new, but I want to encourage people to keep trying. I understand that it's a process to get used to. Sometimes I still mess up myself, but it's OK."
"I'm still, every day, stepping more and more into the identity that feels right to me," Demi added."Which is my pronouns being they/them." As for how their family and friends are adjusting to using their new pronouns, Demi said their family in particular has done an"incredible job," and it's heartwarming to see people actively trying to adapt."I've noticed especially my older sister Dallas — I've noticed her using 'them' and 'they,' and it really does warm my heart up that people are trying," Demi said.
"My friends have had a little harder time to get used to it, actually," they admitted."Just because I think your friends are the ones who you're more likely to be like, 'Biiitch!'""There are times where I might have to choose," Demi added.
