Regarding Demi Lovato, a quick note for the skeptics: trans and non-binary people have always been around, and the reason you're seeing an increase in our visibility is because it's increasingly accepted to be who we really are. Instead of being cynical, you should honor that.

here's how hard it is. When my daughter had a friend change pronouns, I asked, "Will you help me remember to use 'they,' if I mess up?" (I've not messed up) Daughter: "Of course" that's it. that's how hard it is to respect someone. costs zero.

So show me the same respect and know I use he or she. Sorry, it's just who I am

And the exact reverse holds true for systematic racism.

It also costs nothing to address people by their requested pronouns and names, and keep it moving. It’s so weird that people spend valuable time being upset at it.

Quick note regarding Demi Lovato: why should it concern me in the least if they declare that they are non-binary and wish to use “they/them” pronouns? Go for it, Demi. More power to you.

so then people can use the correct pronouns when meeting them

adults admitting that they don't have it all figured out and are still defining who they are will help so many teens and young adults have the freedom to even think "what do I want, what do I like"? The impact is huge.

Also knowing that even when you do “figure it out”, there are still some unknowns about what the future is going to be is important. People evolve and refine who they are. It is a continuum and that is a good thing.
