Demi Lovato is describing their journey of self-discovery since coming out as nonbinary in May.

The 29-year-old singer appeared on the "Today" show and discussed what it's been like since saying the words out loud. 

"The way that I explain being nonbinary to people, or gender non conforming, is for me personally — I can’t speak to everyone in their experience — when I came to the realization that I am equally as masculine as I am feminine," Lovato explained. "My masculine and feminine energy are equal, so much so that I may be wearing a dress and heels right now, but I don’t identify as just a woman, or just a man, and I identify as both."

Lovato added that they understand not every person they encounter will know which pronouns are preferred, so "I do have a lot of grace."

"I still mess up sometimes and say, 'Oh, I can’t wait to be an aunt one day,' and I’m like, 'Wait, what word do I use?' I think for that one we’re going to use ‘aunkle,’" they joked. 

The entertainer also clarified what they mean by identifying as a person who is pansexual.

"I’m attracted to human beings, and it doesn’t matter what you identify as," Lovato said. "I don’t hold myself back from sharing my love with anybody."

When Lovato first spoke about changing their pronouns, they said, "I feel that this best represents the fluidity I feel in my gender expression and allows me to feel most authentic and true to the person I both know I am and am still discovering."
