During a chat with Jane Fonda, the pop singer said they had been living their life 'for other people.'
"If I had listened to the patriarchy, my life would have never changed, my pronouns would have never changed.," the pop singer, 28. began."I probably would have been married to a man with kids doing the thing that I was raised to believe that I should do."
"After years of living my life for other people, trying to make myself smaller for the patriarchy -- they run the industry, they are at the center of everything. When I realized that, I thought, 'What are the ways that the patriarchy has been holding me back?' And for me, it was putting me in a box telling [me], 'You are a female, this is what you're supposed to like, this is what you're supposed to do, don't dream bigger and don't speak louder.
"Over the past year-and-a-half, I've been doing some healing and self-reflective work. And through this work, I've had the revelation that I identify as non-binary," they explained."With that said, I'll be officially changing my pronouns to they/them. 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.
