“For the last year and a half I have been through a healing process and self-reflection work. And, through this work, I have had the revelation that I identify myself as non-binary. I feel that it better represents the fluidity that I feel in my gender expression. It allows me to feel more authentic and faithful to the person that I know I am. “
Demi Lovato

The actress has told how their parents tried to discipline trying to make them accept the male sex. At only 14 years old, Moore ended up leaving her house. “The intention of many parents of queer children is not to hurt them. They believe they are saving their children from danger. But they don’t realise that they are causing them harm.”

Sometimes I think like a woman and that is why I have always lived a little war between my body and my mind ”. The British singer thanked Lady Gaga‘s “The Fame” for having been the reason of reconciling them with their own identity. “It was as if she had given me the permission to be myself and to be proud of myself. It was a form of expression and also of protection.”
