please check out my sources down below!

demi lovato added she/her to their pronouns making it they/them AND she/her. this was absolutely shocking to transphobes/conservatives. contrary to what news articles are saying, demi lovato is still indeed non-binary and did not detransition. believe it or not some people go by multiple pronouns! but alas, it is such a big deal that the world is now in shambles, with steven crowder using it as a device to spread his factually false transphobic statements. today, i make fun of people who are angry on twitter and debunk what the man steven crowder has to say about it. hope you enjoy!
