WASHINGTON: American singer-songwriter Demi Lovato, who last week came out as non-binary and will henceforth be using they/them pronouns, recently said that complimenting someone on their weight loss can be just as harmful as complimenting somebody on weight gain.
Lovato took to her Instagram story and wrote, If you don t know someone s history with food, please don t comment on their body. Because even if your intention is pure, it might leave that person awake at 2 am overthinking that statement.
I do not write this to be cruel or judgmental. And I certainly don’t want to hurt anyone. To the contrary, I want to help. But I do write with a sense of urgency, both to the nation and to confused individuals like Demi Lovato, the latest to identify as non-binary and want to be called “they.”
To the nation, I say this: Wake up! We are losing touch with reality and engaging in dangerous semantic and ideological games. Worse still, we are not providing the real help that struggling people need.
To Demi Lovato, I say this: You are not non-binary, existing outside the realm of male or female. You are a confused woman needing help from the inside out. That’s why I will not refer to you as “they.” And I truly say this in love.

Pop star Demi Lovato on May 19 shared that they are non-binary and will start using the pronouns they/them, saying “this has come after a lot of healing and self-reflective work”.
The radio host, who previously threatened to leave the show after being told to stop talking about the Sorry Not Sorry singer, reveals that he made his return because the company has reached out to him.
