Demi Lovato shared a heartfelt message of support to the non-binary and transgender community on Tuesday - after being forced to clarify why she went back to using she/her pronouns again.

Taking to her Instagram stories, the singer, 32, quipped: 'If you are trans or non-binary like me, please know that I see you, I feel you, I am with you, you are validated, you are loved and you are not alone.

'No one can take away our identities and no one can tell us who we are or aren't. We will get thru this. I love you.'

Demi, who came out as non-binary in May 2021, later revealed she had returned to she/her pronouns in August 2022.

She explained in an interview with GQ Hype Spain that she found it 'exhausting' having to explain her decision to become gender fluid.

She said: 'I constantly had to educate people and explain why I identified with those pronouns. It was absolutely exhausting.

'I just got tired. But for that very reason I know that it is important to continue spreading the word.

Demi revealed she had struggled over using gender-assigned bathrooms and wanted more gender neutral spaces for everyone.

She said: 'I face this every day. For example, in public toilets. Having to access the women’s bathroom, even though I don’t completely identify with it.

'Or it also happens when filling out forms, such as government documents or any other where you have to specify your gender. You only have two options, male and female, and I feel like none of that makes sense to me.'

She added she is 'conditioned' to select 'woman' due to limited options, and added: 'I think this has to change. Hopefully with time there will be more options.'

Thank you very much and God bless you.

'Recently I've been feeling more feminine, and so I've adopted she/her again. But I think what's important is, like, nobody's perfect. Everyone messes up pronouns at some point, and especially when people are learning, it's just all about respect,' she added.

On her Instagram bio, Demi states her pronouns as 'they/them/she/her.'
