The announcement was made by Lovato in a video launching their new podcast, 4D with Demi Lovato.

For the unversed, non-binary persons don’t identify as male or female. They also do not abide by the gender-specific norms.

The announcement comes two months after Lovato announced themselves as pansexual — a person who is attracted to another person of any gender.
