Sam Smith has come out as non-binary saying he feels “like a woman sometimes” and has considered having a sex change.
He was speaking to actress Jameela Jamil about fame, body image and confidence.
“I’ve always had a little bit of a war going within my body and my mind,” Sam said in the interview.
“I do think like a woman sometimes, in my head. Sometimes I’ve questioned ‘Do I want a sex change?’
“It’s something I still think about, like, ‘Do I want to?'”
Many non-binary people don’t identify as either male or female and use the pronouns they or them instead of he or she.
Sam says listening to conversations about being non-binary made him realise that was how he identified.
“I’m not male or female, I think I flow somewhere in between. It’s all on the spectrum,” he says.
He added that he had always resented being “feminine in many ways” and describes being non-binary as being “your own special creation”.
