Yeah, but it doesn’t work when it is clearly coming from the words of this chick herself…
Like, you can’t ask someone to refer to you like some… Genderless blob, when you aren’t. You just can’t, lol…
So as a photo caption, whether the “genderless” idea was Lovato’s, or, in this case, the article “writer”, it just… Sounds so very, very wrong, I suppose, lol.
You can certainly ask people to refer to you how you’d like to be addressed. The problem is it’s no longer a choice. ‘Use my pronouns or else.’
It’s this crap that propelled Jordan Peterson into the limelight. All he said was ‘you can ask me to use your pronouns, but I won’t be coerced into doing so.’
As for Lovato, I reckon it’s as simple as she was fading into obscurity, getting a bit chubby and she went ‘nonbinary’ or ‘asexual’ or whatever the fuck in an attempt to grab a headline.

It’s jarring (to me, anyway), to say the least!
