Halsey clarified her pronouns on Monday and thanked fans for their support.

"For those asking RE: my updated IG bio, I am happy with either pronouns," the 26-year-old musician wrote on Instagram. "The inclusion of 'they', in addition to 'she', feels most authentic to me."

"If you know me at all you know what it means to me to express this outwardly. Thanks for being the best," Halsey concluded, adding a star emoji.

The "Manic" singer, who is currently expecting her first child, quietly updated her social media bios to include "she/they" on March 13.

Halsey previously said pregnancy has "leveled" her perception of gender.

"I've been thinking lots about my body," she wrote. "it's strange to watch yourself change so quickly. I thought pregnancy would give me very strong, binary feelings about 'womanhood' but truly it has leveled my perception of gender entirely."

"My sensitivity to my body has made me hyper aware of my humanness and that's all. Doing a remarkable thing. And it's grand. I hope the feeling lasts."

The "I Would Leave Me If I Could" poet also told The Advocate that her "gender identity has always been super, super fluid."

"I've always really identified with being an androgynous performer," she told the magazine in January 2020.

"I don't identify as nonbinary or gender-fluid. I don't personally feel like I'm at the point in my life where I'm prepared to identify that way," she said. "Will that change? Possibly. I don't know. But I've never felt any reason to change the way that I refer to my gender identity."
