SAM SMITH REMEMBERS RECEIVING ABUSE WHEN THEY CHANGED THEIR PRONOUNS

Sam Smith made their pronoun change public in 2020, and since then, they have received a lot of backlash for it.

The “Unholy” vocalist recalled one instance in which a bystander spat on them because they weren’t using “he” or “his” any longer in a recent interview to promote their new album.

Sam talked openly about their life since the transition to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe.

We actually have two sides, therefore. My private life comes first, then my public life. There isn’t a single negative aspect of my private life. My family can get in touch with me. They’ve always done that, Sam said. But they are now even more effective in their communication with me. My romantic life has improved as a result. I feel attractive. I dress however I want because I feel good in my flesh.

They continued by saying it “felt like a returning home” after creating and announcing the pronoun change. When I was in school, I wish I had known what those phrases meant because I would have identified as that. mostly because that is who I am and have always been.

Although many of their fans (both in and outside of their audience) have accepted it, only their family and close friends have.

“I believe that my public persona and my profession have been the only drawbacks in the effort. Sam opened out about the harassment they’ve experienced before saying, “And simply the amount of hate and sh***iness that came my way was just draining.

Sam claimed that someone “spat at me on the street” after the pronoun was altered and it was reported on the “f***ing news.” It’s absurd.

They said, “What I find difficult about that is that, if that’s happening to me and I’m famous, I’m a pop star, can you imagine what other kids, especially queer kids, are feeling?” “It just makes me so sad that it’s still going on in 2023. It is very demanding in England.

Sam mentioned a few months ago that some fans and journalists continue to use the wrong pronouns.
