.SamSmith spoke out honestly about their identity
took to Instagram earlier today with an emotional announcement. From here on out, Smith will go by the non-binary pronouns they/them, a decision the singer-songwriter says they're"scared shitless" about.singer began."I've decided I am changing my pronouns to THEY/THEM." Despite opening up about identifying as non-binary in the past, choosing how they wanted to be identified was something Smith battled with for years.
Moreover, Smith is well-aware that it may take some time for people to adjust — and they say that's OK. All they ask is that people try their best to get it right."I understand there will be many mistakes and mis gendering but all I ask is you please please try," they said."I hope you can see me like I see myself now."
Before signing off, Smith added that, at this point, they don't feel 100 percent ready to speak further on what it means to be non-binary. They, too, are still learning."I am at no stage just yet to eloquently speak at length about what it means to be non binary but I can’t wait for the day that I am," Smith wrote."So for now, I just want to be VISIBLE and open."
Still, Smith felt it was important to provide resources for those interested in learning more."If you have questions and are wondering what this all means I'll try my best to explain but I have also tagged below the human beings who are fighting the good fight everyday," they wrote."These are activists and leaders of the non binary/trans community that have helped me and given me so much clarity and understanding.
