Why did Halsey change pronouns?

Halsey did not reveal the reason behind the change in pronouns on social media and neither did she release an official statement. The singer, however, has been open about being bisexual. 

According to Just Jared, Halsey who has been outspoken about their sexuality and LGBTQ+ rights had shared in 2018, “I’m a young, bisexual woman, and I’ve spent a large part of my life trying to validate myself- to my friends, to my family, to myself- trying to prove that who I love and how I feel is not a phase; it’s not part of some confusion that’s going to change or could be manipulated.

She added, “So I tried really hard to find the courage this year to write female pronouns into my music.” According to multiple reports, Hasley has earlier dated Norwegian female producer Lido. The singer, whose real name is Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, is currently expecting her first child with boyfriend Alev Aydin. 

‘She’s such a f**kin baddie’

Halsey changing the pronouns soon became a hot topic on Twitter as fans rushed to the micro-blogging site to speak on the same. One fan said, “Halsey changing their pronouns to she/they is just so f**kin hot. She’s such a f**kin baddie and that just made them even hotter.” Another shared, “I hope Halsey changing their pronouns gives others the confidence to express what also makes them feel comfortable. it’s okay to not fit into the categories society puts you in.” One added, “I better not see cis people try to decide how “big” this is because Halsey just came out to their entire fanbase and literally everyone who follows her social media, don’t f**king belittle how much courage this must have taken.”

The next one tweeted, “I’m so happy for Halsey bc some of their poems were about struggling w gender and identity and they have talked about it before too and I’m glad they feel comfortable to express themselves how they want to now despite what others or the media might think.” Another posted, “I’m so proud of Halsey for coming out about their pronouns. this must have been a hard decision but I’m glad they did it. all the transphobic a**holes in the qrts can f**k off.”

One added, “Halsey added she/they pronouns to their bio and of course some ppl have to be di**s about it. just be happy for ppl and respect them. damn. it’s really not that hard.” One user concluded, “My confusion came when Halsey’s pronouns changed to “she/they” so it’s like they went to gender-specific and non-specific at the same time and I’m just lost.”
