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”.
In his interview with Jameela Jamil, Sam Smith says he has dated men who identify as heterosexual and believes “you fall in love with people, not genitals”.
