Demi Lovato Comes Out As ‘Non-Binary’ Amidst Bad Press
Did you know that there is a magic trick that will magically wipe away any and all negative press about you? It’s true! It’s called “coming out” (but make sure it is something other than just gay because that’s too boring and normal now for the progressive left).
If you do something that makes everyone hate you and then come out as a multi-gendered shapeshifter, everyone will forget about your transgressions, just like magic! A great example is Demi Lovato, or as I like to call her, Demitrious Lovatrious. It was only a few weeks ago when she (or I guess they) found herself in the middle of a celebrity’s worst nightmare…the world unanimously agreed that she was a spoiled brat for calling out a Los Angles yogurt shop that was selling “guilt-free cookies.”
In what seems like a never-ending season of division in this country, the right and The Left were united over the objective truth that Demi Lovato was truly not a nice person, to say the least. I’ve actually met Demi twice during a portion of my career while working in radio, and ironically she has always been the one celebrity that I recalled being the rudest.
To be completely transparent, my heart does break for Demi. This is a person we’ve seen deal with tremendous trauma, addiction, and mental health issues. What makes it hard to empathize with her on, however, is the fact that she never seems to embrace the “victor over victim” mentality that conservatives advocate for. She is constantly moving the offended goalpost in what seems like a never-ending quest for attention and a cry for help. Where is her team? Why is no one pushing her to get serious psychiatric care that CLEARLY she has still not received? If she had received adequate treatment like she claims in the past, why does she pop up every so often on social media with a new announcement of sexual orientation, illness, disorder, or gender?
These are very obvious signs of someone who is struggling with severe mental anguish and illness. Instead of just accepting her announcement of being non-binary, did anyone consider maybe asking her why she feels the need to disassociate or harm her body and self in every way possible? An eating disorder, drug use, alcohol use, now she doesn’t want to identify as any specific gender. I don’t think it takes a psychiatrist to see that there is still some trauma within Demi that is completely unaddressed.
Sometimes the best thing for people is not to encourage them to “live their truth”; it’s to get them help. The trend of using gender identity or sexual orientation as a shield or deflection is extremely problematic. With the evidence presented, I just don’t see how anyone can simply look the other way regarding Demi’s latest revelation.
