Smith

For the first time, in an interview released on Friday, March 15, 2019, Sam Smith stated that he identifies as gender nonbinary.

He said that that sometimes he would sit and question it he wanted a sex change. He believes it is something he will think about but does not believe it is something he wants to do. Smith made this statement on Jameela Jamil’s new Instagram talk show, “I Weigh Interviews.”

“When I saw the nonbinary, genderqueer, and I read into it, and I heard these people speaking, I was like, ‘F@ck, that is me.’”

Smith told Jamil that he has always been a war between his mind and his body. He had liposuction when he was 12 years old after he went to the doctor and his mother was told he was storing excessive amounts of estrogen in his chest, giving him breasts.

Previously, Smith has been open about his sexuality. He has said, “I’ve always been very free in terms of thinking about sexuality, so I’ve just tried to change that into my thoughts on gender as well.”

Now, Smith is opening up about his gender identity. He says he still prefers male pronouns but considers himself to be genderqueer. Smith said he was inspired to speak out after he recently read stories about people who have come out as genderqueer and nonbinary.”

“Nonbinary/genderqueer is that you do not identify in a gender. You are a mixture of all different things. You are your own special creation. That’s how I take it: I am not male of female. I think I float somewhere in between. It’s all on the spectrum,” Smith said.
