                                                                                                          Living your most authentic life is so important, and these celebrities are using their platform to normalize the LGBTQIA+ community in very profound ways. Not only have these stars publicly come out as non-binary, but they have also taken the time to openly discuss their gender identity and journeys with the world.

                                                                                                          ‘Non-binary’ is defined by the Human Rights Campaign as an adjective describing a person who does not identify exclusively as a man or a woman. Similarly, gender-fluid defines a person who does not identify with a single fixed gender or has a fluid or unfixed gender identity.

                                                                                                          Demi Lovato is one out and proud non-binary star. The singer is beloved the world over by their fans. Demi revealed that they identify as non-binary in May 2021 and shared that they would be using they/them pronouns moving forward.

                                                                                                          ‘Over the past year and a half, I have been doing some healing and self-reflective work, and through this work, I’ve had the revelation that I identify as non-binary. With that said, I’ll officially be changing my pronouns to they/them,’ Demi explained.

                                                                                                          Want to learn more about the stars who identify as non-binary? Click through our gallery for all their stories.

They explained their feelings about gender in another post days after, writing ‘For those asking RE: my updated IG bio, I am happy with either pronouns/ The inclusion of ‘they’ in addition to ‘she’ feels most authentic to me. If you know me at all, you know what it means to me to express this outwardly. Thanks for being the best.’

Along with being pansexual the multi-hyphenate talent identifies with she/they pronouns. ‘I think people can call me whatever it is they want to call me,’ Janelle told Variety in June 2020. ‘I know who I am. I know my journey. And I don’t have to declare anything.’

                                                                                                          ‘I put this video out that I really intended to be therapeutic for myself and was intended to be viewed by, you know, the hundred-or-so-thousand people that are on my Facebook,’ Ruby told the Guardian. ‘Obviously, it’s very autobiographical.’ She added that in her childhood, she was ‘convinced’ she was male and ‘used to pray to God that I wouldn’t get breasts’.

The ‘Juno’ star shared a lengthy note, which explained, ‘Hi friends, I want to share with you that I am trans, my pronouns are he/they and my name is Elliot. I feel lucky to be writing this. To be here. To have arrived at this place in my life.’ They added that they ‘feel overwhelming gratitude’ in addition to being ‘scared’ of the ‘invasiveness, the hate, the ‘jokes’, [and] violence’ they may endure.

                                                                                                          Since, Elliot has become a beacon of trans joy, often appearing shirtless on his Instagram. His ‘Umbrella Academy’ character has followed Elliot’s evolution, also transitioning in the 3rd season.
