She was in some Disney stuff as a kid, now i think she's a model/singer.

I only heard about her during that fat shaming thing though. It was Ice Cream apparently, she claimed the store fat shamed her by selling 'diet' products.

They're discussing their gender, not their sex.

Fragile right wing snowflakes need something to cry about, it seems.

To be fair, some do it point fly but for some it’s just a lot to expect everyone to instantly remember a change.

Also people see Demi and automatically still think "she" & "her" that's just a fact , but also what people need to remember is not all of them mind if you still refer to them as that as it's more fluid.

I always think of prince in a scenario like this. One day he decided that he should be referred to as symbol, but the simple fact is, it's just not something you can change over night, if at all. One could argue that you are never described as you would choose yourself, because your own perception of who/what you are just doesnt match with whatever anyone else think of you

This is nice and everything but Demi does have a bit of a history of doing stupid attention-seeking things, so I understand why some would be sceptical / just writing this off as a trend/fad.

It's unfortunate that the two biggest profile NBs are Demi and Sam Smith because the public perception of both is... pretty bad. Not that that excuses the willful trolling in here.

In that case you should be "they" because you're as big as two people

But nah, she "came out" so music reviewers tabloid articles use the "correct" pronouns, I guess...

The unfortunate reality is that when anything starts to become more mainstream, there are some people who will join the “trend” just to be part of the scene. I know that’s a taboo line of thought because it can lead to doubting people who are genuine but well... it simply is the case. My daughter came out as gay about a year ago, no one else in her social circle was, she was obviously nervous about telling people but decided to do so. She has a girlfriend who is also quite obviously genuinely gay. The kids were all, surprisingly for me (as it would NOT have been like this when I was at school) totally unphased by this and she’s really encountered zero negativity...

...the strange part is that the rest of the girls in the class started pairing off . There’s 14 girls in the class and there are now only FOUR of them who are not in a same-sex couple . It’s all harmless of course and I’m sure there are a couple of others who may well be gay or bi, but we’ve had to explain to her that it’s unlikely that 80% of the girls in her class are actually gay!

It’s a lot to expect everyone to remember a change when it’s literally the topic of the thread?

When prince decided he wanted to be known as a "squiggle" everyone ignored that and called him Prince

and they still do
