Sam Smith has revealed that their preferred pronouns are “them/they.”
Earlier this year, the talented singer-songwriter revealed that they identify as non-binary. Now, Smith has decided to clarify their pronouns in a bid to embrace who they really are.
“Today is a good day so here goes. I’ve decided I am changing my pronouns to THEY/THEM. After a lifetime of being at war with my gender I’ve decided to embrace myself for who I am, inside and out,” Smith wrote on Twitter.
“I’m so excited and privileged to be surrounded by people that support me in this decision but I’ve been very nervous about announcing this because I care too much about what people think but f**k it!
“I understand there will be many mistakes and mis-gendering but all I ask is you please please try. I hope you can see me like I see myself now. Thank you.”
Smith explained that the journey is one they are still on and that they are learning day by day what it means to be non-binary. The star opened the floor to questions and finished the Tweet with one poignant request: “Be kind.”
