Celebrated singer Sam Smith is once again opening up about their gender identity, gently reminding us in case it’s slipped our minds.

Known for their bold and often controversial fashion choices, Sam Smith candidly addressed their feelings and understanding of gender, stepping forward to clarify their identity once more.

Smith shared that it’s not at all unusual for people to earnestly inquire about their gender. Some folks are even curious enough to wonder if they have ever thought about or wanted to change their gender identity.

Without skipping a beat, Sam expressed that the answer was quite simple: they don’t desire a change. “I am not a man, and I am not a woman,” they explained. Instead, Smith sees themselves as a blend of various aspects, a unique mix that defies easy categorization.

During an Instagram Live chat, the star admitted that it’s not enjoyable to constantly hear chatter about oneself, especially when the comments miss the mark.

For Smith, the term ‘non-binary’ feels like the most fitting description. However, despite addressing this on numerous occasions, Sam expressed surprise over the ongoing confusion people seem to have regarding their identity.

Sam’s open, honest sharing creates an opportunity for understanding in a world that is still catching up with the wide spectrum of gender identity.
