The clip began circulating accompanied by a comment claiming that Demi “stopped the nonsense of being non-binary, remembered she was a woman, and got super attractive”, along with approval emojis.

The phrase quickly drew criticism on social media, where numerous users pointed out that linking a person’s gender identity to their physical appearance is disrespectful. Demi Lovato identified as non-binary in 2021 and, in 2022, explained that they had also begun using feminine pronouns again.
